Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
Season the chuck roast with the Kosher salt, pepper and thyme.
Add the vegetable oil to a pan and heat.
When it ripples and is hot add in the roast and brown, deeply, for 4-5 minutes on each side.
Add onions, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme and cook, covered, for 3 – 3 1/2 hours.
Remove from the oven and remove thyme sprigs.
Turn oven to hi-broil.
