Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 medium (sliced) yellow onions
• 4 medium (peeled and cut into chunks) carrots
• 1 pound baby potatoes
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon (optional for thickening) cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons (optional for thickening) water
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season it generously with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Sear the beef on all sides until a golden brown crust forms, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once seared, remove it from the pot and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the sliced onions, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.

Step 6

Stir in the carrots and baby potatoes, making sure to coat them in the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 7

Add the tomato paste, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Deglaze the pot by pouring in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any flavorful browned bits.

Step 9

Return the beef chuck roast to the pot, nestling it among the vegetables. Cover with a tight-fitting lid or seal tightly with foil.

Step 10

Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and bake for 2.5-3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 11

If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the beef and vegetables from the pot and set aside. Mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry, then stir it into the liquid in the pot. Simmer on the stovetop over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your One Pot Oven Baked Beef with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
