US Standard - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Heat the Dutch oven over medium high heat and add the oil.
  • Season the roast and sear it on all sides, once brown, remove from heat.
  • Add the potatoes, carrots, green beans, mushrooms, and onions over and around the meat.
  • Whisk the whiskey, cream of mushroom soup, and soup packets together in a bowl then layer over the meat and vegetables in the Dutch oven.
  • Cover and cook for 75 minutes or until the roast has reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F and the vegetables have reached the desired tenderness.
  • Remove meat and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • The cooking time will vary on the size and actual cut of beef, so use a meat thermometer to truly gauge doneness.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F for a longer cooking time. A tougher roast will benefit from slow cooking.
  • If you’re sensitive to sodium, we recommend using low sodium cream of mushroom or even no salt added.
