Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs chuck roast
- 2 medium yellow onions, chopped
- 4 large carrots, cut into chunks
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper and sear on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove the roast from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Deglaze the pot by adding red wine and scraping up browned bits; simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Return the roast to the pot with beef broth, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a gentle boil, then cover tightly.
- Transfer to the oven and slow cook for 3-4 hours until tender (meat should shred easily).
- Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding. Serve alongside vegetables.
