Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 cups Unsalted beef broth
• 4 Carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
• 3 Celery stalks, cut into large chunks
• 1 Yellow onion, quartered
• 1 pound Baby potatoes, halved

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, black pepper, onion powder, rosemary, and thyme.

Step 3

Rub the olive oil all over the surface of the roast, then evenly coat it with the garlic and herb mixture.

Step 4

Place a large oven-safe Dutch oven on the stove over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side.

Step 5

Remove the roast from the pot and set aside. Add the unsalted beef broth to the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 6

Return the roast to the Dutch oven, arranging it in the center. Surround with the carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes.

Step 7

Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake for approximately 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve the beef roast with the cooked vegetables and any remaining pan juices for added flavor.
