Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup dry red wine (optional, substitute with additional beef broth)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 cups baby carrots
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
• 4 fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt and black pepper. Lightly coat with the all-purpose flour.

Step 2

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4

Deglaze the pot by pouring in the beef broth and optional red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in the tomato paste until fully combined.

Step 5

Return the seared roast to the pot. Add the baby carrots, celery, and quartered potatoes around the roast.

Step 6

Tie the fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs together with kitchen twine and add them to the pot along with the bay leaf.

Step 7

Cover the pot with a lid and lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork. Check occasionally to ensure the liquid level remains sufficient, adding water or broth as needed.

Step 8

In the last 10 minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen peas to heat through.

Step 9

Remove the thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the pot roast with the vegetables and cooking juices.
