Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs chuck roast
- 4 medium carrots, diced
- 2 large yellow onions, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, whole
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by chopping carrots and onions into even pieces.
- Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper, then sear each side for about 4-5 minutes until browned.
- Remove the roast and sauté the onions and garlic in the same pot until the onions are translucent (about 3 minutes).
- Return the roast to the pot, add carrots, thyme, bay leaves, and pour in beef broth until just covered.
- Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover tightly and simmer for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
- Carefully remove the roast, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding. Serve with gravy.
