Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 lbs chuck roast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine (optional, or substitute with more beef broth)
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 3 carrots, peeled & cut into chunks
  • 3 potatoes, peeled & cut into chunks
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp flour (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Season – Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Season the chuck roast with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary.
  2. Sear the Meat – Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides (3-4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables – Add onion, carrots, potatoes, and garlic to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook for another minute.
  4. Deglaze & Braise – Pour in beef broth and red wine (if using), scraping the bottom of the pot. Return roast to the pot, cover, and place in the oven.
  5. Slow Cook – Roast for 3-4 hours, until the meat is fork-tender.
  6. Thicken Gravy (Optional) – Remove the roast. Mix flour with a little water to form a slurry, whisk into the pot, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Serve & Enjoy – Slice or shred the roast and serve with the vegetables and rich gravy.
