3 lbs beef chuck roast
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup bourbon
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups baby carrots
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cold water
1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper on all sides.
3. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the roast on all sides until browned.
4. Remove the roast and set aside. In the same pot, add onions and garlic, sautéing until fragrant.
5. Stir in beef broth, bourbon, maple syrup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and paprika, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
6. Return the roast to the pot, cover, and bake in the oven for 2 hours.
7. Add carrots and potatoes, cover, and continue to cook for an additional 1 hour or until vegetables are tender and the roast is easily shreddable.
8. Remove the roast and vegetables from the pot. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water and stir into the pot juices to thicken.
9. Slice or shred the roast and serve with vegetables and thickened sauce.
