# Components:
→ Beef
01 - 1 (3 to 4 lb) chuck roast
02 - 2 teaspoons kosher salt
03 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Vegetables
05 - 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
06 - 3 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
07 - 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces
08 - 2 medium onions, quartered
09 - 4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
10 - 2 celery stalks, cut into large pieces
→ Braising Liquid & Seasonings
11 - 2 cups beef broth (gluten-free if needed)
12 - 1 cup dry red wine or additional beef broth
13 - 2 tablespoons tomato paste
14 - 2 teaspoons dried thyme
15 - 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
16 - 2 bay leaves
# Preparation Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
02 - Pat chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season generously on all sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear chuck roast for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms. Transfer roast to a plate and set aside.
04 - Add quartered onions, carrot chunks, parsnip chunks, potato pieces, celery, and smashed garlic to the Dutch oven. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
05 - Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to develop.
06 - Pour in dry red wine or additional beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
07 - Return seared roast to the pot. Add beef broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaves. Ensure liquid reaches halfway up the sides of the beef.
08 - Cover Dutch oven securely and transfer to preheated oven. Roast for 2.5 to 3 hours, turning the roast once halfway through, until the beef is fork-tender and vegetables are cooked through.
09 - Remove bay leaves. Allow beef to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve meat with roasted vegetables and pan juices.
