Ingredients:
3-4 lb chuck roast
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 large carrots, cut into chunks
3-4 medium potatoes, diced
4 cups beef broth
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
2 bay leaves
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat & Sear the Roast:
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Generously season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same Dutch oven, sauté the chopped onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen the flavor.
3. Build the Braising Liquid:
Deglaze the pot with beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves to infuse the liquid with bold flavor.
4. Add the Roast & Vegetables:
Return the seared roast to the Dutch oven. Surround it with carrots and potatoes. Spoon some of the liquid over the top for extra moisture.
5. Braise in the Oven:
Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 3-4 hours, or until the roast becomes fork-tender. Check occasionally, adding more broth if necessary.
6. Serve & Garnish:
Remove the bay leaves. Slice or shred the roast and serve alongside the vegetables and broth. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Pair with crusty bread or mashed potatoes for the ultimate comfort meal!
