Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-4 lb Chuck Roast
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 large Onion, chopped
  • 2 Carrots, chopped
  • 2 Celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1 tsp Dried Rosemary
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can Diced Tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cups Beef Broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Season chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned. Remove from pot and set aside.
  4. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, and rosemary and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in diced tomatoes and beef broth. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and add bay leaf. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Return the roast to the pot. The liquid should come about halfway up the sides of the roast. If needed, add more beef broth.
  7. Cover the pot and transfer to the preheated oven.
  8. Bake for 3-4 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
  9. Remove the roast from the pot and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding or slicing.
  10. Skim off any excess fat from the sauce. Serve the roast with the sauce and your favorite sides.

Notes

Serve the chuck roast with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce.
