Ingredients

• 3 pounds chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 medium carrots
• 4 medium potatoes
• 4 whole garlic cloves
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Rub it thoroughly with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme.

Step 3

Heat a large oven-safe Dutch oven or skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 4

While the pot is still hot, deglaze it by pouring in 1/2 cup of the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Return the roast to the pot.

Step 5

Slice the yellow onion into thick wedges. Peel the carrots and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Quarter the potatoes. Arrange the vegetables around and on top of the chuck roast in the pot.

Step 6

Add the garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme sprigs to the pot. Pour the remaining beef broth over the top, ensuring it's mostly around the roast but not fully submerging it.

Step 7

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil. Place it in the preheated oven and cook for 3 hours and 30 minutes, or until the chuck roast is fork-tender.

Step 8

Once the roast is fully cooked, carefully remove it from the oven. Let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes before shredding or slicing.

Step 9

Serve the chuck roast alongside the vegetables, spooning some of the flavorful broth from the pot over the top for added moisture and flavor.
