Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup beef broth
• 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 yellow onion, quartered

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).

Step 2

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels to help it brown better.

Step 3

Rub the roast all over with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.

Step 4

Heat a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until a golden brown crust forms, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set it aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet or Dutch oven, add the beef broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom. These bits add incredible flavor to the dish.

Step 6

Return the roast to the skillet or Dutch oven. Surround it with the carrots, potatoes, and onion chunks.

Step 7

Cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Roast for approximately 4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.

Step 9

Remove the beef and vegetables from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the beef roast sliced or shredded, with the vegetables on the side. Spoon some of the pan juices over the top for added flavor.
