Flavor-packed Portuguese Beef Pot Roast
Creating a Portuguese Beef Pot Roast is a labor of love, but the steps are straightforward. Follow this guide to achieve a perfect pot roast:
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Season the beef with salt and pepper generously on all sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Searing the Beef
- Sear the beef in the hot oil until browned all over, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set it aside.
Developing the Base
- Reduce heat to medium and add onions to the pot. Sauté until they become golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Building the Flavor
