Sunday dinner at my grandmother’s house was always comprised of four essential elements: pot roast (or standing rib roast), roasted vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. While I enjoyed the pot roast (with a huge dollop of horseradish, please), it was really all about the Yorkshire pudding with a very generous portion of gravy ladled into the middle. If you’ve never had Yorkshire pudding, the best way I can describe it is the English version of a popover, with a splash meat drippings. All good.

While this one-pot pot roast (say that five times fast!) meal may not include Yorkshire pudding and gravy, it has all of the comforting flavors of roasted meat and vegetables. And besides whisking together the marinade ingredients and chopping some vegetables, there’s very little work to be done. Most of the preparation and cooking time is inactive, either while the meat is marinating or while the pot roast and vegetables are cooking in the oven.

I used a boneless beef chuck roast for this one-pot pot roast, trimming off as much of the fat as possible. (If you are referencing the nutritional information in the recipe below, please note that I used the nutritional data for a select cut of beef shoulder pot roast, trimmed of fat, as noted in this USDA nutritional data.)

Once the pot roast is cooked, let it rest on a carving board or a rimmed baking sheet so you can capture all of the juices. While you’re waiting for the vegetables to finish cooking, pour the accumulated juices into a bowl or measuring cup and allow the fat to rise to the top before skimming and discarding it. To speed up this process, place the measuring cup in the fridge or freezer. Drizzle the juices over each portion of pot roast when you serve it.

9. Remove the meat from the pan and place it on a rimmed carving board or baking sheet (to capture the juices) and tent with foil to keep warm.

11. Place the skillet with the vegetable in the oven, uncovered, and roast, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and turning golden brown, about 35 minutes.
