# What You’ll Need:
→ Meat
01 - 3 lbs beef chuck roast, trimmed
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 tsp kosher salt
04 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
→ Vegetables
05 - 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
06 - 3 parsnips, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
07 - 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
08 - 2 medium yellow onions, peeled and quartered
09 - 3 celery stalks, cut into large pieces
10 - 4 garlic cloves, smashed
→ Liquids & Seasonings
11 - 2 cups beef broth (gluten-free if needed)
12 - 1 cup dry red wine or extra broth
13 - 2 tbsp tomato paste
14 - 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (gluten-free if needed)
15 - 2 tsp dried thyme
16 - 2 tsp dried rosemary
17 - 2 bay leaves
# Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 325°F.
02 - Pat the chuck roast dry and season all sides evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate.
04 - Add onions, carrots, parsnips, celery, and smashed garlic to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
05 - Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen flavor.
06 - Pour in red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up browned bits from the bottom, then add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
07 - Return the roast to the pot. Add potatoes, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaves. Ensure liquid reaches halfway up the roast, adding extra broth if necessary.
08 - Cover the pot tightly and transfer to the oven. Roast for 2.5 to 3 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
09 - Remove the lid for the last 30 minutes to allow vegetables to caramelize slightly.
10 - Discard bay leaves. Slice the roast against the grain and serve with vegetables and pan juices.
