Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon thyme leaves, fresh or dried
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Sear the chuck roast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until well-browned. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion and minced garlic cloves to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar. Let the mixture cook for 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and deglaze the pot by scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits.

Step 8

Return the seared roast to the pot, placing it in the center of the broth mixture.

Step 9

Sprinkle thyme leaves over the roast and arrange the baby potatoes, carrots, and celery around the meat.

Step 10

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, basting the roast with the broth every hour, until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 12

Remove the pot from the oven and allow the roast to rest, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 13

Serve the Kick Butt Roast with the vegetables and spoon some of the flavorful broth over the top. Enjoy!
