I started with a decent size roast…use any kind. In today's case I used a chuck roast that weighed about 4.3 pounds. I placed the roast on a plate and sprinkled each of the following on the cut of meat:
2 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
Then I poured approximately 2-3 tbsp of olive oil and rubbed the oil/spice mixture evenly around the meat.
Next I peeled about 2.5 pounds of carrots and cut them into small pieces. Then I peeled and cut up 5 pounds of potatos.
Once done the meat was placed in my handy 6qt roaster by Nesco. You could use the oven as well. I like the Nesco because it doesn't heat up the house too bad. I preheated to 325 degrees and then set the cooking temperature to 350 degrees.
I generally cook for 20 minutes per pound, and will check doneness with a meat thermometer. Beef should go to about 170-180. Always remember to cook your beef thoroughly.
Here is a shot of it while cooking
And here it is served up on a handy dandy paper plate!
