Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
• 3 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 bay leaves
• 3 fresh thyme sprigs
• 4 medium potatoes, quartered

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the beef roast in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze any browned bits for extra flavor.

Step 7

Return the beef roast to the pot and add the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.

Step 8

Cover the pot with its lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Cook for 3 hours, turning the roast halfway through cooking.

Step 10

After 3 hours, add the quartered potatoes to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the broth. Cover and continue cooking for an additional hour, or until the potatoes are tender and the beef is fork-tender.

Step 11

Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving.

Step 12

Serve the roast sliced or shredded, along with the vegetables and broth for a hearty meal.
