Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 3 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup red wine (optional)
• 3 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 medium potatoes, quartered
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper, then rub it with the flour to form a light coating.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast on all sides until it develops a deep brown crust, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

If using, pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the beef broth and tomato paste, mixing well to combine. Add the thyme sprigs and bay leaves to the pot.

Step 7

Return the beef roast to the pot, along with the quartered potatoes. Ensure the liquid covers most of the roast and vegetables. Add more broth if necessary.

Step 8

Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3.5-4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.

Step 9

Remove the pot from the oven. Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Transfer the roast and vegetables to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors of this country-style pot roast.
