Cut the beef chuck roast into 2-inch pieces. Season the pieces with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onions and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Return the browned beef to the pot and pour in 3 cups of beef broth. Add the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Bring to a simmer.
Cover the pot and transfer it to a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C). Cook for 2.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
After 2 hours, add the halved mushrooms and baby potatoes to the pot. Stir well and return to the oven for the final 30 minutes of cooking.
Remove the pot from the oven and discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley before serving.
