Time 4h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 3- to 5-pound chuck roast
2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil
2 whole onions, peeled and halved
6 to 8 whole carrots, unpeeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup red wine, optional
3 cups beef broth
2 or 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 or 3 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
  • Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
  • Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
  • If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
  • With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
  • Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
  • Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.

Tips:

  • For fall-apart tender chuck roast, braise it low and slow in a flavorful liquid. Pot roast is a classic option, but you can also try cooking it in beer, wine, or even coffee.
  • Sear the roast before braising it to develop a rich, caramelized crust.
  • Add plenty of vegetables to your chuck roast dish for a healthy and flavorful meal. Carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery are all good options.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings and spices. Garlic, thyme, rosemary, and paprika are all popular choices for chuck roast.
  • Let the chuck roast rest for at least 15 minutes before carving it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
