Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs beef chuck roast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tsp dried rosemary
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325Β°F (165Β°C).
- Season the roast with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic, sautΓ©ing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste, cooking for an additional minute.
- Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Return the roast to the pot. Add the beef broth, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, carrots, and potatoes.
- Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for about 3-4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
- Remove the pot from the oven. Discard the bay leaves. Remove the beef and vegetables from the pot, placing them on a serving platter.
- If desired, thicken the gravy by simmering the remaining liquid on the stovetop until reduced to your liking.
- Serve the beef sliced, with the vegetables and gravy over the top.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the beef in red wine and herbs overnight.
- This dish can be made in a slow cooker. Follow steps 2-7, then cook on low for 8-10 hours.
