Ingredients
- 3–4 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion (diced)
- 1 rib celery (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (smashed)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes (cut in halves or quarters)
- 1 pound carrots (diced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F. Pat the chuck roast dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from pot.
- Lower heat to medium-low and add onion and celery, cooking until softened (8-10 minutes). Stir in garlic, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce; cook for another minute.
- Pour in chicken stock to deglaze the pot, scraping up browned bits. Return seared roast to the pot.
- Cover tightly and braise in the oven for 2 hours.
- Add potatoes and carrots, cover again, and continue cooking for an additional 1-1.5 hours until both meat is tender and vegetables are soft.
- Remove from oven; transfer roast and veggies to a serving platter.
- If desired, thicken gravy with cornstarch mixed with cold water before serving.
