Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
• 6 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cups beef broth
• 4 medium carrots
• 4 medium potatoes
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels, then season it generously with kosher salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

On a cutting board, finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme. Mince the garlic cloves, then mix them with the chopped herbs.

Step 4

Rub the herb-garlic mixture evenly over the beef roast, pressing it gently to adhere.

Step 5

Heat a large, oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering.

Step 6

Sear the beef roast in the Dutch oven, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. This should take about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the seared beef roast and set it aside. Add the sliced onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 8

Deglaze the pot by pouring in 1/2 cup of the beef broth, scraping the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.

Step 9

Return the beef roast to the pot. Pour the remaining beef broth around the meat, ensuring it comes halfway up the sides of the roast.

Step 10

Peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into large chunks. Add them to the pot around the beef roast.

Step 11

Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 12

Once cooked, transfer the beef and vegetables to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 13

To make the gravy, strain the cooking liquid into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat.

Step 14

In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour with a few tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.

Step 15

Slowly whisk the slurry into the hot cooking liquid, simmering for 5-7 minutes until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 16

Slice or shred the beef roast and serve with the roasted vegetables and warm gravy on the side.
