Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 pounds beef chuck roast About 1.36 kilos, boneless
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled, pressed or smashed with a knife
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon salt divided
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves ground
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon paprika powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • ½ red onion Feel free to use more, peeled and sliced
  • ¼ cup bone broth
  • 3 bay leaves dried
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit/165 degrees Celsius.
  2. Pat dry the chuck roast with paper towels and remove any cooking twine.
  3. Use a paring knife to cut a few slits into the top and bottom of the chuck roast (the long flat sides), then place the mashed garlic cloves inside.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the seasoning, except for ¼ teaspoon of salt. Rub the chuck roast thoroughly with the seasoning blend, covering all sides.
  5. Cover the bottom of the Dutch oven with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the onions—season onions with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt.
  6. Place the seasoned beef chuck roast in the Dutch oven on top of the onions along with the bay leaves. Pour the broth around the chuck roast. Coat the meat with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and coconut aminos.
  7. Cover the pot with the dish lid and place in the oven. Roast for 3 hours or until the roast pulls apart easily and flavors have developed (count about 1 hour per pound).
  8. Remove the roast from the oven and pull it apart. Then, combine the shredded meat with the onions and the flavors developed at the bottom of the pan. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Best to thaw the night before in the fridge before reheating and consuming. 
  • Tips: 
  • Pat dry the boneless chuck roast before seasoning it so none of the meat juices interfere with the flavors.
  • It is best to handle meat at room temperature for even roasting.
  • Don't forget the coconut aminos. It adds not only lovely sweet-umami flavors but also creates nice crispy ends.
  • Mix the shredded beef with the flavors developed at the bottom of the pan before serving (the end result should be shredded meat with browned bits and flavors from the bottom of the pan).
  • Serve with a side salad, tacos, and your favorite toppings, or make sandwiches from leftovers like these leftover Pot Roast Beef Sandwiches.
