Ingredients

• 4 pounds beef round roast
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups beef stock
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 2 bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the spice rub.

Step 3

Pat the beef round roast dry using paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the roast, then evenly coat it with the spice rub on all sides.

Step 4

Heat a large oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides for about 2–3 minutes per side, until browned.

Step 5

Remove the roast from the skillet and set it aside. Add the chopped carrots, celery, and yellow onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 6

Pour the beef stock into the skillet, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 7

Return the beef roast to the skillet, nestling it among the vegetables. Add the bay leaves.

Step 8

Cover the Dutch oven with its lid (or tightly cover the skillet with aluminum foil) and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Cook the roast for approximately 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C), ensuring that the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Step 10

Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and let the roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Discard the bay leaves.

Step 11

Serve the Spiced Round of Beef with the cooked vegetables and pan juices drizzled over the slices. Enjoy!
