Ingredients

• 2.5 lbs beef chuck roast
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 2 celery stalks
• 1 medium carrot
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine
• 1 bay leaf
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 8 oz mushrooms
• 1 tbsp butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Cut the beef chuck roast into large 2-inch chunks and season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef chunks until browned on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 4

Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the celery and carrot.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the onion, garlic, celery, and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to slightly caramelize.

Step 7

Pour in the beef broth and red wine, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pot. Add the bay leaf and thyme sprigs.

Step 8

Return the beef to the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Once simmering, cover the Dutch oven and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 2 hours, until the beef is tender and easily breaks apart.

Step 10

Slice the mushrooms. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 11

After 2 hours, remove the pot from the oven, add the sautéed mushrooms, and stir to combine.

Step 12

Cover the pot and return to the oven for an additional 30 minutes to finish cooking.

Step 13

Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs before serving. Enjoy your low-carb braised beef!
