Ingredients

• 2 pounds chuck steak
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2.5 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 fresh thyme sprigs
• 3 medium carrots, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Season the chuck steak on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Sear the chuck steak for 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. Remove the steak and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Whisk together beef broth, tomato paste, and flour in a small bowl until smooth, then pour the mixture into the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Return the chuck steak to the skillet, along with the fresh thyme sprigs. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour, turning the steak halfway through.

Step 8

After 1 hour, add the carrots and potatoes to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the vegetables in the sauce.

Step 9

Cover and cook for an additional 45-60 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the steak is fork-tender.

Step 10

Remove the thyme sprigs before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy Grandma Etta's comforting, home-style chuck steak fry roast with family and friends!
