Ingredients

  • 3 pounds chuck roast
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 ribs celery, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 3 large carrots, cut into chunks
  • 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  3. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add chopped onion and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook for another minute.
  6. Pour in the beef broth and red wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  7. Return the roast to the pot. Add bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a simmer.
  8. Cover with a lid and transfer to the oven. Bake for 2 hours.
  9. Add carrots and potatoes to the pot. Cover and return to the oven for an additional 1 to 1.5 hours, until the roast and vegetables are fork-tender.
  10. Remove bay leaves before serving. Slice or shred the roast and serve with the vegetables and sauce.

Notes

  • Use a good quality dry red wine for the best flavor.
  • Chuck roast has great marbling, making it ideal for braising.
  • This dish is even better the next day after flavors meld.
  • Serve with crusty bread or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
