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 bay leaf
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup red wine (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned. Remove from pot and set aside.
  5. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add garlic, thyme, and rosemary and cook for 1 minute more.
  7. Pour in diced tomatoes, beef broth, and red wine (if using). Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  8. Return the chuck roast to the pot. Add the bay leaf.
  9. Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  10. Bake for 3-4 hours, or until the chuck roast is fork-tender.
  11. Remove the chuck roast from the pot and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding or slicing.
  12. Serve with the vegetables and cooking liquid.

Notes

For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of tomato paste when sautéing the vegetables. Serve over mashed potatoes or polenta for a complete meal.
