Ingredients

• 3 pounds Chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 large Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 3 stalks Celery stalks, cut into chunks
• 1 cup Port wine
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.

Step 3

Sear the chuck roast for 4-5 minutes per side until deeply browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the carrots and celery to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to slightly caramelize.

Step 6

Pour in the port wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and lift up any browned bits.

Step 7

Stir in the beef broth and tomato paste, then add the thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and seared chuck roast back into the pot.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 2 hours, turning the roast occasionally.

Step 9

After 2 hours, add the baby potatoes to the pot. Ensure the potatoes are submerged in the liquid and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the roast is fork-tender and the potatoes are cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the roast from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf.

Step 11

Serve the sliced pot roast with the vegetables and sauce ladled over the top. Enjoy!
