Ingredients
Scale
- 1 chuck roast, 3 to 4 pounds
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 ½ cups (362 g) beef broth, plus more as needed
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, optional
- mashed potatoes
- mushroom shallot gravy
Instructions
- Remove the chuck roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels, then season with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned, then transfer it to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium and add the sliced onion. Cook for 4-5 minutes, scraping up browned bits from the bottom.
- Add smashed garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring well. Add thyme if using.
- Return the roast to the pot with its juices.
- Check the liquid level; add more beef stock if needed to reach halfway up the roast.
- Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Cook for 3 ½ to 4 hours, flipping halfway through, until fork-tender.
- Rest the roast uncovered for 10-15 minutes, then remove and pull it apart.
Notes
For extra flavor, sear the roast well until a deep brown crust forms.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can thicken the broth with a cornstarch slurry after removing the roast.
