Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 large Carrots
• 3 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 cup Red wine (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 2 whole Bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside.

Step 5

Peel and slice the yellow onion into thick wedges, peel and cut the carrots into large chunks, and cut the potatoes into quarters.

Step 6

In the same pot, add the onion wedges and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.

Step 7

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute to develop flavor.

Step 8

Deglaze the pot by pouring in the beef broth and red wine (if using). Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.

Step 9

Add the Worcestershire sauce, fresh thyme sprigs, and bay leaves to the pot.

Step 10

Return the seared beef to the pot, nestling it into the liquid.

Step 11

Layer the carrots and potatoes around the roast, ensuring they are partially submerged in the liquid.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Cook for 3.5-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and easily shreds.

Step 14

Remove the pot from the oven and discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves.

Step 15

Slice or shred the roast and serve it with the vegetables and the rich gravy from the pot.
