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.
THE BEST POT ROAST
The secret to a flavorful pot roast is browning the meat and onions before roasting, which adds a rich meaty flavor and caramelized sweetness. This step is what separates our recipe from many others that use a slow cooker. And also unlike a slow cooker recipe, our sauce is simmered to reduce a little which concentrates the flavors. What you'll end up with is a roast that's fall-apart tender with a velvety sauce and delicious vegetables.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the roast with 3 tablespoons of the salt, rubbing into the grain and covering all sides. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to 3 days.
- Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 275 degrees F.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Cook the meat, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium-high and heat the remaining 4 tablespoons oil in the pot. Cook the onions and the remaining 1 tablespoon salt, stirring occasionally, until browned but not completely cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes (it's ok if the onion wedges break apart). Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until the paste is brick red and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bay leaves and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pot, until slightly reduced and you can no longer smell the alcohol, about 4 minutes. Add the flour, stir to coat the onions and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the broth and pepper and bring to a boil.
- Nestle the meat and any accumulated juices into the onions. Arrange the carrots, celery and potatoes around the roast, pushing them into the onions and surrounding the beef. Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook until the meat is very tender but still holds its shape and is not falling apart, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Let rest, covered, at least 45 minutes before serving.
- Transfer the roast to a cutting board and remove the twine with scissors, if necessary. Slice against the grain.
- Divide the vegetables among plates and arrange the sliced beef over top. Spoon sauce over the top garnish with parsley and chives.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good choices for pot roast. Look for a cut that has good marbling, as this will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful.
- Brown the meat before braising: Browning the meat before braising helps to develop its flavor and color. Be sure to brown the meat in a hot pan over medium-high heat, and do not overcrowd the pan.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will give your pot roast its flavor, so be sure to use a liquid that you enjoy the taste of. Some good options include beef broth, red wine, or a combination of the two.
- Add vegetables and herbs to the pot: Vegetables and herbs will help to add flavor and depth to your pot roast. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
- Cook the pot roast until it is fall-apart tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size and cut of the meat, but generally speaking, you should cook the pot roast for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
Conclusion:
Pot roast is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful pot roast that your family and friends will love.
