Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season it with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the roast in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set it aside.
Peel and quarter 1 large onion, then add to the pot. Sauté until they begin to soften and caramelize, about 4 minutes.
Add 4 whole garlic cloves to the pot, stirring for another minute until fragrant.
Return the beef roast to the pot. Pour in 2 cups of beef broth, ensuring the liquid covers at least halfway up the sides of the roast.
Add 3 celery stalks (chopped into medium pieces) and 2 medium carrots (peeled and chopped) around the roast.
Tie 2 sprigs of rosemary and 2 sprigs of thyme together with kitchen twine (or spread them loosely) and place in the pot along with 1 bay leaf.
Bring the liquid to a simmer on the stove. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Braise the roast in the oven for 3-3.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreddable with a fork.
Remove the pot from the oven. Discard the bay leaf and herb stems.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted to finish the sauce.
Let the roast rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the vegetables and sauce from the pot.
