Ingredients
  

Main
  • 3-4 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups carrots chopped
  • 2 cups potatoes diced
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • 5-7 quart Dutch oven
  • Meat thermometer
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Large spoon for stirring

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In your Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  4. Remove the roast and set it aside.
  5. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot.
  7. Place the seared roast back into the pot.
  8. Add the carrots, potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper around the roast.
  9. Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  10. Bake for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  11. Once done, remove the roast and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

This roast pairs beautifully with a simple side salad or crusty bread to soak up the juices.
