It's easy, it's home cooking, use your instinct to adjust the beef and the results will be good. An English Beef Roast is also known as chuck arm roast, cross rib roast, chuck-eye roast, chuck shoulder, and pot roast.
directions:
#1: Preheat your oven to 500ºF. Remove the roast from the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cooking.
#2: Wash the veggies, and coarsely chop them up.
#3: Break the garlic head into the cloves. Leave them unreeled.
#4: In a roasting pan big enough to hold the roast and place all ingredients (except the roast) in a pile in the middle and liberally drizzle with olive oil.
#5: Drizzle the roast with olive oil and salt and pepper all sides, rubbing it all in.
#6: Place the roast on the veggies.
#7: Move the roast into the oven and turn the oven down to 400ºF. Cook until done. Typically just short of an hour.
Use a thermometer or touch to determine doneness. Cover with foil and towel for 15 minutes.
