Ingredients
- 3 lb beef chuck roast
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 large onion sliced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 3 cups beef broth low-sodium preferred
- 1 (28 fl) can whole plum tomatoes
- 3 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 large carrots cut into 1½" thick diagonals
- 2 celery cut into 1½" thick diagonals
- 2-4 cloves garlic smashed
- 2 bay leaves
- 2-3 sprigs rosemary
- 2-3 sprigs thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300F
- Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper all over.
- In a 5.2L or larger dutch oven, heat up the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the beef to the pot and sear each side for 5 to 6 minutes. Do not move while the roast sears. Remove the beef and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the onions and saute them until softened. They should be lightly browned from the liquid in the pot. Add a splash of extra oil if needed.
- Add the tomato paste and continue to saute for another minute. If needed, deglaze the pot with a splash of beef broth.
- Add the beef broth, canned tomatoes, and Worcestershire. Bring the pot up to a simmer.
- Once the liquid has reached a simmer, add the beef back to the pot and then add the carrots, garlic cloves, bay leaves, rosemary, and thyme around it. If the beef is not covered at least 50% by the liquid, add more beef broth.
- Cover with the lid and transfer the dutch oven to the oven, and bake for 3½ to 4 hours, depending on how tender you prefer the meat.
- When ready, remove from the oven and serve with your favorite side, I like mashed potatoes.
