Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 2 cups beef broth
• 3 medium jalapenos, sliced (seeds removed for less heat if desired)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 leaf bay leaf
• 4 medium potatoes, quartered

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Season the beef chuck roast evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Add the beef broth, sliced jalapenos, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Return the beef roast to the pot, nestling it into the liquid and vegetables.

Step 7

Add the quartered potatoes around the roast, ensuring they are partially submerged in the broth.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a simmer on the stovetop, then cover the pot with a lid.

Step 9

Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the roast is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 10

Remove the pot from the oven and discard the bay leaf.

Step 11

Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before shredding or slicing. Serve with the vegetables and a ladle of the flavorful broth.
