Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 3-4 lb Beef Chuck Roast
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 large Onion, chopped
  • 2 Carrots, chopped
  • 2 Celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1 cup Red grape juice (optional, can substitute with more beef broth)
  • 1 tbsp Dried Thyme
  • 1 tsp Dried Rosemary
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove roast and set aside.
  5. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add garlic and tomato paste and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  7. Pour in beef broth and red grape juice (if using), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  8. Add thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf.
  9. Return the chuck roast to the pot.
  10. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then cover and transfer to the preheated oven.
  11. Bake for 3-4 hours, or until fork-tender. Check occasionally and add more beef broth if needed.
  12. Remove the roast and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before shredding or slicing.
  13. Skim off any excess fat from the sauce. Thicken the sauce if desired.
  14. Serve the chuck roast with the sauce and your favorite sides.

Notes

For a richer flavor, marinate the chuck roast overnight before cooking.
