Ingredients
  

  • 3 –4 lb beef chuck roast trimmed
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine optional
  • 4 carrots cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 4 medium potatoes quartered
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Generously season roast beef with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  2. In a heavy Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown chuck roast 3–4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.
  3. Remove roast. Add onion and garlic, sauté 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in red wine and beef broth, scraping up brown bits. Nestle roast back in pot, surround with carrots, potatoes, and rosemary.
  5. Cover and transfer to oven. Cook 2 hours until roast beef is fork-tender and vegetables are soft.
  6. Remove from oven, let rest 10 minutes. Slice or pull apart and ladle pan juices over the top for rich gravy.
