Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cups beef broth
- 4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels, then season it generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, and dried thyme on all sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the roast on all sides until it forms a deep golden-brown crust, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Pour in the beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
Return the roast to the pot, ensuring it sits in the liquid. Add the chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes around the roast for extra flavor and tenderness.
Cover the pot with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Cook for 4 hours, turning the roast once halfway through cooking. The meat should be incredibly tender and easy to shred with a fork when done.
Remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve the roast beef with the vegetables and a ladle of the rich broth from the pot.
