  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups beef broth

  • 2 cups potatoes diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Trim any excess fat from the chuck roast.
  2. Rub the roast with salt and pepper on all sides.
  3. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the roast in the pot until browned on all sides.
  5. Remove the roast and add onions and garlic to the pot, sautéing until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the beef broth and add thyme and rosemary.
  7. Return the seared roast back to the pot, submerging it in the broth.
  8. Add carrots and potatoes around the roast.
  9. Cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours.
  10. Check for doneness using a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 195°F.

Notes

Let the roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing to keep juices intact.
