Ingredients
Scale
- 1 chuck roast, 3 to 4 pounds
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 ½ cups (362 g) beef broth, plus more as needed
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, optional
- mashed potatoes
- mushroom shallot gravy
Instructions
- Remove the chuck roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels and season it all over with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the roast and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium and add the sliced onion to the pot, cooking for 4 to 5 minutes while scraping up browned bits.
- Add smashed garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, mixing well. Add fresh thyme if using.
- Return the roast to the pot along with any juices. Check the liquid level; ensure it's halfway up the roast and add more beef stock if needed.
- Cover with a tight-fitting lid and place in the oven. Cook for 3 ½ to 4 hours, flipping the roast halfway until fork-tender.
- Remove the roast and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Pull it apart gently and serve warm with mashed potatoes and mushroom shallot gravy.
Notes
Make sure to sear the roast well for maximum flavor.
Resting the meat is crucial for achieving a tender texture.
Feel free to add vegetables like carrots or potatoes to the pot for more flavor.
