Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1.8 kg chuck roast
- 5 cloves garlic (peeled)
- 5 shallots (peeled)
- 2 large carrots (peeled and cut in chunks)
- ½ head swede peeled and cut in chunks)
- 2 large parsnips peeled and cut in chunks)
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 prigs thyme
- 100 ml red wine
- 750 ml chicken or beef stock
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170 ℃ (340°F).
- Heat a Dutch oven or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add a tablespoon of olive oil and let it get hot. Once the oil is hot, add the chuck roast to the skillet or Dutch oven.
- Sear it for 2-3 minutes on each side, until it is nicely browned.
- Remove the roast from the skillet or Dutch oven and set it aside.
- Lower the heat to medium-low, and sauté the shallots or onions along with the garlic for a few minutes.
- Add the carrots, swede/rutabaga, and parsnip to the pan and sauté them for a few more minutes.
- Stir in the red wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up the bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the stock along with the chuck roast, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and thyme, and then bring the pan to a boil.
- Cover the Dutch oven or the skillet with a lid or tin foil, making sure it is tightly sealed, and place it in the preheated oven.
- Cook the chuck roast for about 3 ½ to 4 hours, or until they are tender and fall apart easily when touched with a fork. Cooking time will depend on the size of your roast.
- You'll want to check on it periodically to make sure there is enough liquid to cook the chuck roast (you can add a bit of water or stock if needed).
- Remove the bay leaves and thyme, check the seasoning, and add some more salt if necessary before serving.

Notes
- Chuck roast is a flavorful cut of meat, but it still needs plenty of seasoning to taste its best. Be generous with the salt and pepper to really bring out the natural flavors of the meat.
- While a roasting pan or baking dish will work just fine for cooking a chuck roast in the oven, a Dutch oven is an excellent option for achieving even heat distribution. The heavy, thick walls of a Dutch oven trap in heat and moisture, resulting in a perfectly cooked roast every time.
- For a juicy and flavorful pot roast, consider searing your beef first over high heat until it browns on both sides.
- It's important to note that the cooking time for your beef chuck roast may vary depending on your oven. When it's done, the meat should be so tender that it easily falls apart and can be cut with a fork.
