Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef and set it aside.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic. Stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, dried thyme, and the remaining salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.
Return the seared beef roast to the pot. Spoon some of the gravy over the top, then cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil.
Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once done, remove the pot from the oven and let the beef rest for 10 minutes. Stir the gravy and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Slice or shred the beef and serve with the rich gravy drizzled on top. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
