Ingredients
3 lbs beef chuck roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 cups beef broth
2 carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
2. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on all sides. Sear the roast in the hot oil until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
3. Remove the roast and set aside. In the same pot, add sliced onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and softened.
4. Stir in balsamic vinegar and maple syrup, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
5. Return the roast to the pot, pour in beef broth, and add carrots, celery, thyme, and bay leaves.
6. Cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
7. Remove the roast from the oven, let it rest for 10 minutes, then shred or slice to serve.
