Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large cast-iron Dutch oven over medium-high. Pat the chuck roast dry, then season all over with salt and pepper.
- Sear the roast 3–4 minutes per side until deeply browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining olive oil and the onion slices. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally for 12–15 minutes until soft.
- Uncover and continue cooking 10 more minutes, stirring, until the onions develop deep golden color.
- Stir in garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Sprinkle flour over the onions, stir to form a paste. Pour in beef broth, red wine, and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits.
- Nestle the seared roast back into the braising liquid. Cover and transfer Dutch oven to the oven.
- Braise for 4 hours, or until the meat shreds easily. Remove the lid for the last 30 minutes to thicken the gravy.
- Rest the meat 10 minutes, then shred and serve ladled with caramelized onion gravy over mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
