Stovetop Pot Roast with Creamy Mashed Potatoes
  1. 1

    Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper; sear it in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes per side.

  2. 2

    Pour the beef broth and water into the skillet with the roast. Arrange the onion wedges and garlic cloves around the beef; spread the carrots on top and place the sprig of rosemary over the carrots. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 6 hours.

  3. 3

    Cover the potatoes with water in a large pot and bring to a boil; reduce the heat to low and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain. Mash the potatoes with butter and 1/2 of the evaporated milk until smooth; gradually mash in the remaining evaporated milk to reach the desired consistency. Season with salt.

  4. 4

    Remove 1 or 2 garlic cloves from the skillet and mash the cloves on top of the roast; serve with the mashed potatoes.
