Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbsp cooking oil
  • 4 pound chuck roast

For Cooking:

  • 1 small onion, roughly chopped
  • 4 carrots, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 8oz mushrooms, halved
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 8-10 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, cut into chunks
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Heat oil in a large dutch oven over medium high heat. Season chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear in the pot for 4-5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
  2. Add onion and carrots to the pot. Sauté till the onion starts to become translucent.
  3. Add red wine to the pot, and stir to deglaze. Add in beef broth, garlic, mushrooms, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer, then add back in the chuck roast.
  4. Place the lid on the dutch oven, then place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 2½ hours.
  5. Remove the roast from the oven. Add the potatoes into the broth, then cover and return to the oven. Roast for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are done to your liking.
  6. Remove the dutch oven from the oven. Place the chuck roast on a platter, and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Shred with two forks, then spoon on some of the flavorful liquids from the pot. Serve along with the vegetables.

Notes

  • If using a different sized chuck roast, cooking times may vary. Roast till the internal temperature reads 190°F with an instant-read thermometer before adding the potatoes.
  • Use a large enough dutch oven. 6-7 quart works well for this recipe.
  • Depending on the dimensions of your dutch oven, you may need more liquid. The chuck roast should be at least halfway submerged. If needed, add more beef broth.
  • Chuck roast can also be cooked in a slow cooker. First sear the roast on stovetop, then transfer everything to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours.
  • If you wish to thicken the sauce, make a slurry of two parts cold water to one part flour. After removing the chuck roast from the pot, gradually stir in the slurry until the gravy has thickened to your liking.
  • Leftovers: Chuck roast refrigerates beautifully in an airtight container. Use within 3-4 days. You can also freeze it for future meals in airtight containers, along with the broth. So yes, even if it’s not for big crowds, go ahead and make a huge batch, you won’t regret it. Use within 3 months for best quality.
