Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and place it on a clean work surface.
Rub the roast evenly with the olive oil, ensuring all sides are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the roast, then rub in the minced garlic.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully sear the roast on all sides (about 2 minutes per side) until nicely browned.
Remove the pan from heat and cover it tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and cook for 4 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
Carefully remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding. Serve warm with your favorite sides and enjoy!
