Ingredients

Scale

3 lbs boneless chuck roast
4 large carrots, chopped
2 medium yellow onions, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
2 bay leaves
1 tsp fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup dry red wine (optional)

Instructions

1. Sear the Meat: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season chuck roast with salt and pepper. Sear each side until browned (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove the roast from the pot.
2. Sauté Aromatics: Add onions and garlic to the same pot; sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in chopped carrots and cook for another minute.
4. Incorporate Liquid: Pour in beef broth and add red wine if desired; scrape up any brown bits from the bottom.
5. Return Roast: Nestle the seared roast back into the pot with bay leaves and thyme. Cover tightly, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
6. Final Touches: Adjust seasoning before serving. Pair with creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
