Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire surface of the roast, ensuring it adheres well.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef roast in the hot oil until deeply browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. This step helps seal in the flavors.
Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside temporarily.
Add the chopped carrots, celery, and onions into the skillet, sautéing them in the leftover juices for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Return the beef roast to the skillet, placing it on top of the vegetables.
Pour in the beef broth and balsamic vinegar, ensuring the liquid covers at least half the height of the roast.
Add the bay leaves into the liquid around the roast.
Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil.
Transfer the covered roast to the preheated oven.
Bake for about 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Carefully remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Serve slices of the beef roast with the sautéed vegetables and a spoonful of the flavorful juices.
