Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 yellow onions, sliced
• 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels, then season generously with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Lightly dredge the roast in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same Dutch oven, add the sliced yellow onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the beef broth, red wine, tomato paste, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Return the roast to the Dutch oven, then add the carrots and baby potatoes around the meat, ensuring they are partially submerged in the liquid.

Step 9

Cover the Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.

Step 10

Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Discard the herb sprigs and bay leaves. Serve the pot roast with the vegetables and ladle the rich gravy over the top.
