Ingredients

• 3 pounds Chuck roast
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 cups Baby carrots
• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

Season the chuck roast evenly with salt and black pepper, then dust it lightly with all-purpose flour on all sides.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the chuck roast for 3–4 minutes on each side until it's browned. Remove the roast from the pot and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Sauté for 5–6 minutes, or until softened and golden brown.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any flavorful bits stuck to it.

Step 8

Return the seared roast to the pot, spooning some of the sauce over the meat.

Step 9

Add the baby carrots, baby potatoes, fresh thyme, and rosemary sprigs around the roast.

Step 10

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Cook for 3.5–4 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 12

Remove the pot from the oven and discard the thyme and rosemary sprigs. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Serve the pot roast with the carrots, potatoes, and the tangy sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy!
