Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Rub it all over with one tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper.
In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).
Remove the roast from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add the carrots, onions, and potatoes. Sauté for 5 minutes until slightly browned.
Deglaze the pot with the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in the balsamic vinegar.
Return the roast to the pot, nestled among the vegetables.
Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven.
Roast for about 3 hours, or until the beef is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Remove the pot from the oven and let the meat rest for about 10 minutes.
Slice the roast beef, serve with the cooked vegetables, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.
