Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 large carrots
• 2 stalks celery stalks
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 medium potatoes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season generously with kosher salt and ground black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the Dutch oven. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic cloves to the pot and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Deglaze the pot by pouring in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Add the beef broth, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, and paprika to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Chop the potatoes into large chunks and place them around the roast in the pot.

Step 11

Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 12

Cook the roast for 3.5-4 hours, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.

Step 13

Remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 14

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