Ingredients

• 3 pounds Chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Yellow onions
• 3 cups Beef stock
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 Bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

Season the chuck roast generously on all sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Set the roast aside on a plate.

Step 4

Slice the yellow onions into thin rings and add them to the Dutch oven. Sauté the onions in the leftover drippings, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 5

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onions and stir well to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the beef stock while stirring, ensuring there are no lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce, fresh thyme sprigs, and bay leaf to the mixture.

Step 7

Return the seared chuck roast to the Dutch oven, nestling it into the onion mixture. Spoon some of the onions and liquid over the roast.

Step 8

Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.

Step 9

Once the roast is done, remove it from the Dutch oven and place it on a serving platter. Tent with foil to keep warm.

Step 10

Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf from the onion mixture. If desired, stir in the unsalted butter for a richer gravy.

Step 11

Slice the chuck roast and serve with the onion gravy spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or crusty bread for a comforting meal.
