Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium Carrots, chopped
• 2 stalks Celery stalks, chopped
• 1 cups Red wine
• 1 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 1 tablespoons Cornstarch (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for cornstarch slurry)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge the beef in all-purpose flour, coating it lightly on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the beef for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned, then transfer to the crock pot.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Transfer the vegetables to the crock pot.

Step 5

In the skillet, pour in the red wine and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Let it simmer for 2 minutes, then stir in beef broth and tomato paste until well combined. Pour the mixture over the beef in the crock pot.

Step 6

Add the fresh thyme and bay leaf to the crock pot. Cover and set to low heat for 8 hours, or high heat for 4-5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the beef and vegetables from the crock pot and transfer to a serving platter. Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf.

Step 8

To make the gravy, pour the liquid from the crock pot into a saucepan. If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, then whisk it into the simmering liquid on the stovetop until thickened.

Step 9

Serve the beef warm with the red wine gravy drizzled on top. Pair with mashed potatoes or crusty bread for a complete meal.
