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 Making a Perfect Workperson's Roast:
- Choose the right cut of meat. Look for a chuck roast or blade roast that has good marbling. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Brown the meat before braising. Browning the meat in a hot pan before adding it to the slow cooker or Dutch oven will help develop flavor and add color to the roast.
- Use a flavorful braising liquid. The braising liquid is what will give the roast its flavor, so be sure to use a combination of liquids that you enjoy. Some good options include beef broth, red wine, and Guinness beer.
- Add vegetables to the pot. Vegetables will help add flavor and nutrients to the roast. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
- Cook the roast on low heat for a long time. The best way to cook a workperson's roast is to cook it on low heat for a long time. This will help the meat become tender and fall apart.
- Serve the roast with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dishes.
