Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

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 salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, approximately 4 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 5

Peel and slice the onions, carrots, and celery into large chunks.

Step 6

Add the onions, carrots, and celery to the Dutch oven. Cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Mince the garlic and add it to the pot, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute.

Step 9

Pour in the beef broth and red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 10

Return the seared beef back to the pot, nestling it among the vegetables.

Step 11

Add bay leaves, thyme sprigs, and parsley. Bring the liquid to a simmer.

Step 12

Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for about 3 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.

Step 13

Remove from oven, discard bay leaves and thyme sprigs.

Step 14

Before serving, let the beef rest for about 10 minutes, then slice against the grain.

Step 15

Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired, then serve with the braising vegetables and sauce.
