Ingredients

• 3-4 pounds chuck roast
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 4 carrots, chopped
• 4 stalks celery, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup red wine (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 bay leaves

Instructions

1. Start by seasoning the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
2. In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until it’s browned, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set it aside.
3. In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Pour in the beef broth and red wine, if using. Scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pot to infuse the flavors.
5. Return the roast to the pot. Add Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.
6. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C). Cook for 3-4 hours or until the meat is fork-tender.
7. Once done, remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the roast and serve with the vegetables and gravy from the pot.
