Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large, diced onion
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 4 large, peeled and cut into chunks carrots
- 3 cut into chunks celery stalks
- 3 large, peeled and quartered russet potatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef roast in the heated oil until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.
In the same Dutch oven, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the carrots, celery, and potatoes, stirring occasionally until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
Add the beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaves, rosemary, and thyme to the pot. Stir until the tomato paste is fully incorporated.
Return the seared beef roast to the pot, nestling it among the vegetables. Add the apple cider vinegar.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C).
Cook for 3.5 to 4 hours or until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.
Remove the pot from the oven and carefully transfer the beef to a serving platter.
Discard the bay leaves and herb sprigs. Stir the vegetables and sauce to combine well, then serve alongside the shredded beef.
