Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 cup dry red wine (optional, can substitute with more beef broth)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 12 ounces egg noodles
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the roast and set it aside.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium and add the sliced onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth, red wine (if using), and Worcestershire sauce. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the dried thyme.

Step 6

Return the seared roast to the pot, making sure it is mostly submerged in the liquid. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 7

Cook the roast in the oven for about 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.

Step 8

About 30 minutes before the roast is done, prepare the Swiss cheese noodles. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 9

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for 2-3 minutes until warmed.

Step 10

Gradually add the shredded Swiss cheese, stirring constantly, until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 11

Toss the cooked egg noodles with the cheese sauce until evenly coated.

Step 12

Remove the roast from the oven and shred it using two forks. Serve the tender pot roast alongside the Swiss cheese noodles.

Step 13

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
