Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-4 pound chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove roast from pot and set aside.
  5. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, and rosemary and cook for 1 minute more.
  6. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  7. Return the roast to the pot, ensuring it is mostly submerged in the liquid.
  8. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  9. Bake for 3-4 hours, or until the roast is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  10. Remove the roast from the pot and shred it with two forks.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and water until smooth.
  12. Pour the flour mixture into the pot with the cooking liquid and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the gravy has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  13. Return the shredded roast to the pot with the gravy.
  14. Serve hot.

Notes

Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or polenta for a complete and satisfying meal. Add potatoes to the dutch oven during the last hour of cook time for perfectly cooked potatoes that absorb the flavors of the braising liquid.
