• 3 lbs Chuck roast

• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
• 4 Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 3 Celery stalks, chopped
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced

📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. Season the chuck roast evenly with 2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper.

3. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.

4. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set it aside.

5. In the same pot, add the sliced onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

6. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to enhance the flavor.

7. Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and loosen any browned bits.

8. Return the chuck roast to the pot and add the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Cover with a tight-fitting lid or foil.

9. Transfer the pot to the preheated oven and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.

10. Near the end of cooking, prepare the bourbon maple glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 0.25 cup bourbon, 0.25 cup maple syrup, and 2 tbsp of unsalted butter. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture slightly thickens.

11. Once the roast is finished cooking, remove it from the pot and discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Place the roast on a serving platter.

12. Drizzle the bourbon maple glaze over the pot roast and serve alongside the cooked vegetables from the pot.

13. Enjoy your Pot Roast with Bourbon Maple Glaze!
