Ingredients
Scale
- 1 chuck roast, 3 to 4 pounds
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 ½ cups (362 g) beef broth, plus more as needed
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, optional

Instructions
- Remove the chuck roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels and season it with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3 to 4 minutes per side until brown, then transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium, add sliced onion, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add smashed garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Add fresh thyme if desired.
- Return the roast to the pot along with any juices.
- Check the liquid level; it should be halfway up the roast. Add more broth if necessary.
- Cover with a tight-fitting lid, then transfer to the oven for 3 ½ to 4 hours, flipping the roast halfway through until tender.
- Remove roast and let it rest uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes before pulling it apart.
- Serve warm with mashed potatoes and mushroom shallot gravy.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can marinate the chuck roast overnight in the seasoning.
Make sure to let the meat rest before serving for better texture and juiciness.
Serve with your favorite sides to enhance the meal.
