Ingredients

3 lbs beef chuck roast

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, chopped

4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

3 cups beef broth

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 sprigs fresh rosemary

3 sprigs fresh thyme

2 bay leaves

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup water

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

2. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper on all sides.

3. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

4. In the same pot, add minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until fragrant and onions are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

5. Return the roast to the pot. Add carrots, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves.

6. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and transfer the pot to the preheated oven.

7. Cook for 3 hours until the roast is tender and easily shreddable.

8. Remove the roast and vegetables from the pot, cover with foil to keep warm.

9. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and water to create a slurry.

10. Over medium heat, whisk the slurry into the pot juices to thicken the gravy. Cook for 3-5 minutes until thickened.

11. Serve the roast and vegetables with the gravy drizzled on top.
