Ingredients
Scale
- 1 chuck roast, 3 to 4 pounds
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 ½ cups (362 g) beef broth, plus more as needed
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, optional
- mashed potatoes
- mushroom shallot gravy
Instructions
- Remove the chuck roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels, then season with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Preheat your oven to 300°F.
- In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the roast and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the roast to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium and add sliced onion, cooking for 4 to 5 minutes while scraping any browned bits from the pot.
- Add smashed garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Add fresh thyme if desired.
- Return the roast, including any juices, back to the pot.
- Ensure the liquid reaches about halfway up the sides of the roast, adding more beef broth if necessary.
- Cover with a tight lid and transfer to the oven, cooking for 3 ½ to 4 hours, flipping once halfway through, until tender and easily pulled apart.
- Let the roast rest, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes. Pull apart for serving.
Notes
For more flavor, marinate the roast overnight with the seasoning.
