Ingredients

• 3 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 celery stalks, cut into chunks
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 cup dry red wine
• 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
• 2 fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Season the beef chuck roast generously with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Pat down to adhere the seasoning evenly.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the roast on all sides until a deep golden-brown crust forms, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and release any browned bits.

Step 8

Return the roast to the pot along with the rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf. Ensure the liquid comes about halfway up the sides of the roast. Add more broth if necessary.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer on the stovetop, then cover with a lid and transfer the pot to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Roast for 3 hours, flipping the roast at the halfway mark, until the meat is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.

Step 11

Remove the pot from the oven and transfer the roast and vegetables to a serving platter, tenting them with foil to keep warm.

Step 12

Place the pot back on the stovetop over medium heat and remove the rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf.

Step 13

Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and whisk in 1 tablespoon of flour to make a roux. Stir the roux into the pot juices to thicken, simmering for about 5 minutes.

Step 14

Strain the thickened gravy (if desired) and serve it alongside the roast and vegetables.

Step 15

Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your Heart Breaker Roast!
