Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 medium celery stalks
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

Peel and dice the onion. Peel and cut the carrots into 1-inch pieces. Slice the celery into 1/2-inch pieces. Mince the garlic.

Step 5

Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic, tomato paste, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the tomato paste to caramelize slightly.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 8

Return the seared beef to the pot and cover it with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, turning the beef occasionally.

Step 9

After 2 1/2 hours, check the beef for doneness. It should be tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.

Step 10

Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Serve the Yankee Doodle Beef sliced or shredded, with the vegetables and broth spooned over the top. It pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
