Dutch Oven Chuck Roast Recipe

Georgia Matthews

Report

This Dutch oven beef chuck roast simmers in a rich broth of garlic and herbs. The low and slow cooking breaks down the meat until it's fork-tender and full of flavor.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 275ºF.
In a 5-quart dutch oven (see note), heat the olive oil on high heat until smoking.
Season the chuck roast with the salt and pepper, rubbing it into the meat.
Sear the roast until a golden crust forms, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Brown the onion quarters in the Dutch oven until dark golden brown.
Remove the pan from the heat.
Add the carrots, garlic, dried mustard, red wine, beef broth, Worchestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar to the Dutch oven.
Place the seared chuck roast in the pan; it will be almost completely submerged in the liquid.
Place the herbs on top of the roast.
Cover with the lid and slow cook the chuck roast in the oven for 4-5 hours, until it is fork-tender and shreds easily.

Notes

You can use up to a 5-pound Chuck Roast for this recipe. A 5-pound roast will serve 8 people.
The smallest size Dutch oven you can use is a 5 quart. You can use up to a 7 quart (or similar), just nestle the Chuck Roast down into the liquid next to the veggies instead of on top of them.
If the cooking liquid seems too greasy, skim off excess fat with a spoon or use a fat separator before serving. This keeps the sauce rich but not heavy.
You can add the carrots and other vegetables like potatoes halfway through cooking. This prevents them from becoming mushy while still soaking up all the delicious flavors. Carrots can stand up to the longer roasting time, but not potatoes.
