👩🍳 Instructions
Season the Roast Pat the chuck roast dry and generously season all sides with salt and black pepper.
Sear for Flavor Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned (about 3–4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
Build the Base In the same pot, add onions and cook until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Deglaze & Add Flavor Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Pour in beef broth, scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom.
Slow Cook Return the roast to the pot. Cover and simmer on low heat for 2½–3 hours (or bake at 160°C / 325°F).
Add Vegetables Add potatoes and carrots during the last hour of cooking. Cover and continue cooking until everything is fork-tender.
Serve Remove bay leaves. Slice or shred the beef and serve with vegetables and rich gravy spooned over the top.
