Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 medium carrots
• 2 celery stalks
• 4 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup red wine
• 2 cups gluten-free beef broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 6 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season all sides evenly with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once browned, remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium. Chop the yellow onion, and slice the carrots and celery. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and celery into the Dutch oven. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 6

Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, cooking for 1 minute until it darkens slightly and coats the vegetables.

Step 7

Pour in 1 cup of red wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Return the beef to the pot. Add 2 cups of gluten-free beef broth, ensuring the beef is mostly submerged. Add the bay leaves and 6 sprigs of fresh thyme.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer the pot to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Step 11

Remove the pot from the oven. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.

Step 12

Let the braised beef rest for about 10 minutes. Serve hot, with your choice of side, such as gluten-free mashed potatoes or rice.
