Ingredients

• 3 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 4 large carrots
• 6 medium red potatoes
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup dry red wine
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 pieces bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season all sides with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 4

Peel and chop the onion into large wedges. Peel the garlic cloves and smash them with the side of a knife.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.

Step 6

Add the tomato paste to the pot and stir, cooking for 1-2 minutes to develop its flavor.

Step 7

Deglaze the pot by pouring in the red wine. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits.

Step 8

Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine. Return the seared roast to the pot.

Step 9

Peel the carrots and cut them into thick chunks. Wash and halve the red potatoes. Arrange the carrots and potatoes around the roast.

Step 10

Add the fresh thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves to the pot. Ensure the roast and vegetables are mostly submerged in the liquid.

Step 11

Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 12

Cook for 4 hours, checking once at the 3-hour mark to ensure there is enough liquid (add more broth if needed).

Step 13

Once the roast is fork-tender, remove it from the oven. Discard the herb sprigs and bay leaves.

Step 14

Slice the roast against the grain and serve with the vegetables and sauce from the pot.
