Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 2 small yellow onion Keep with core remaining to help onion stay in wedges while cooking, skin removed, cut into 4 wedges
- 6-8 large carrot peeled and chopped into large pieces
- salt sea salt and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper sea salt and freshly cracked, to taste
- 1 (4 lb) chuck roast
- 5-6 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 cup red wine You can also use extra beef broth instead of wine, dry
- 3 thyme fresh, sprigs
- 2-3 rosemary sprigs, fresh
- 2-3 cups beef broth as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion wedges to the Dutch oven along with the carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Remove to a plate.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the Dutch oven. Season both sides of the chuck roast well with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Place the meat in the Dutch oven and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until it is browned all over. Remove to a plate. Side Note: If your roast comes tied up with string, remove the string so you have a flat roast.
- Add the garlic cloves to the Dutch oven and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
- Add the wine and deglaze the pan making sure to scrape up any bits off of the bottom. Cook for 1 minute then add the beef broth, thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and the beef & onions.
- Cover with a lid and place into the oven to roast for 2 hours. Side Note: Cover the plate of carrots with tin foil and set aside until needed.
- After two hours, carefully flip the beef over and add the carrots to the Dutch oven. Replace the lid and continue to cook for 2 hours or until the beef is tender and falls apart easily. Side Note: If your roast is 3 lbs... start checking the meat after 3 hours.
- Shred or slice the beef and serve with the carrots and creamy mashed potatoes, if desired. Enjoy.
