Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 medium yellow onions
- 3 large carrots
- 4 medium potatoes
- 2 whole bay leaves
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Brown the beef in the hot oil on all sides, about 8-10 minutes total.
Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
Slice the onions, carrots, and potatoes into large chunks.
Add the onions and carrots to the pot, sautéing until onions are slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
Return the beef to the pot, nestling it among the vegetables.
Pour in the beef broth to cover halfway up the meat.
Add in bay leaves and fresh thyme sprigs.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pot and place it in the preheated oven.
Cook for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Add potatoes to the pot for the last hour of cooking.
Once done, remove bay leaves and thyme sprigs.
Let the beef rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve the beef and vegetables hot, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
