Ingredients
- 3 lb chuck roast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper fresh ground
- 1 onion diced
- 2 celery diced, stalks
- 3 carrot peeled and sliced
- 6-8 cloves garlic
- 15 oz diced tomatoes canned
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 cup beef stock
- 1 tsp thyme or 2 tsp fresh, dry
- ¼ tsp sage or 1/2 tsp fresh, dry
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F
- Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- In a large oven-safe Dutch oven or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chuck roast and sear it until it's well-browned on all sides. This step helps lock in the flavors and juices. Remove the roast from the pan and set it aside.
- In the same pan, add the diced onion, celery, carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften and the onions turn translucent.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off and the flavors to meld.
- Place the seared chuck roast back into the pan on top of the vegetables.
- Pour in the beef stock and sprinkle thyme and sage over the roast. These herbs will infuse the roast with aromatic flavors.
- Cover the Dutch oven or skillet with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for about 3-4 hours or until the roast is fork-tender and easily pulls apart. Baste the roast with the liquid occasionally during cooking.
- Once done, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice or shred the meat as desired.
- Serve the tender chuck roast slices with the flavorful vegetables and the rich pan juices as a gravy.
