Ingredients
3 to 4 pounds chuck roast (bone-in)
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups beef broth
1 large onion, quartered
3 carrots, cut into chunks
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and black pepper.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the roast on all sides until browned.
4. Place the roast in a Dutch oven and surround with onions, carrots, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
5. Pour in beef broth to cover the bottom of the pot.
6. Cover with a tight-fitting lid or foil and roast for 3 to 4 hours, until the meat pulls apart easily with a fork.
7. Remove from oven and let rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing or shredding.
8. Serve with pan juices spooned over the top.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the roast overnight in olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
To create a thicker gravy, simmer the pan juices on the stovetop and whisk in a cornstarch slurry.
