Serve it straight from the Dutch oven, and let the aromatic rosemary and melt-in-your-mouth beef steal the show.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with the salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef roast in the hot oil for 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic, tomato paste, and fresh rosemary sprigs to the pot, cooking for 1 minute to release their aromas.
Pour in the red wine and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits.
Return the seared beef roast to the pot, nestling it into the liquid.
Add the carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and bay leaves around the beef in the pot.
Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Braise the roast for 3–3.5 hours, checking periodically to ensure the liquid doesn't evaporate too much. Add more broth if necessary.
Once the beef is fork-tender, remove the pot from the oven.
Discard the bay leaves and rosemary sprigs.
Slice or shred the beef and serve with the roasted vegetables and pan juices spooned over the top.
