Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 celery stalks, cut into chunks
- 4 potatoes, quartered
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine (optional)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoons dried thyme
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt and pepper, then dust it lightly with the all-purpose flour.
In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.
In the same pot, lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the beef broth, red wine (if using), and tomato paste to the pot. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the roast to the pot, placing it in the liquid. Add the carrots, celery, potatoes, dried thyme, and bay leaves around the roast.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Let it cook for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Remove the pot from the oven and carefully discard the bay leaves.
Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with the vegetables and a generous ladle of the flavorful cooking liquid.
