Ingredients

• 3 pounds chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 4 medium carrots, cut into chunks
• 3 stalks celery, cut into chunks
• 6 small red potatoes, halved
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine (optional)
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 leaf bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season all sides evenly with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2

Sprinkle the flour over the roast to lightly coat it on all sides.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, sear the chuck roast on all sides until it develops a deep brown crust, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onion. Sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 7

Deglaze the pot by adding the red wine (if using) or 1 cup of the beef broth. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.

Step 8

Return the seared roast to the pot. Add the carrots, celery, potatoes, and the remaining beef broth to the pot.

Step 9

Tuck the rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf around the roast. Bring the liquid to a simmer.

Step 10

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 roast is fall-apart tender.

Step 11

Remove the pot from the oven and carefully transfer the roast and vegetables to a serving platter.

Step 12

Skim any excess fat from the surface of the liquid and discard the rosemary, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf.

Step 13

Optional: Simmer the liquid on the stovetop for 5-10 minutes to reduce and thicken it into a rich gravy.

Step 14

Serve the chuck roast with the vegetables and gravy on the side. Enjoy!
