Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 6 small Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • Sear the roast: Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the pot and set aside.
  • Cook the aromatics: In the same pot, add onions and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  • Add seasonings: Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute to blend flavors.
  • Add liquids: Pour in beef broth and red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer.
  • Cook the roast: Return the roast to the pot, nestling it into the liquid. Add carrots and potatoes around the meat.
  • Roast in the oven: Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  • Make the gravy (optional): For a thicker gravy, remove the meat and vegetables from the pot and keep them warm. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water, then stir the mixture into the cooking liquid over medium heat until thickened.
  • Serve: Serve the pot roast with vegetables, spooning gravy over the top for extra flavor.

Notes

  • For an extra boost of flavor, you can marinate the roast in the seasoning overnight.
  • This recipe works well in a slow cooker too! Just sear the roast and then cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • You can add other vegetables like parsnips or turnips to make it more hearty.
