Whether you're feeding family or meal-prepping for the week, this fork-tender roast will become your go-to cold-weather dish.

Ingredients (Serves 6–8):

  • 3–4 lb beef chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3–4 potatoes, quartered
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried
  • 2 sprigs thyme or 1 tsp dried
  • 1 bay leaf (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat & prep:
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Pat roast dry and season generously with salt and pepper.

2. Sear the beef:
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear roast on all sides until browned (about 4–5 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté aromatics:
In the same pot, sauté onions for 3 minutes, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute.

4. Deglaze & build the base:
Stir in tomato paste, then pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape up brown bits from the bottom.

5. Return roast & add veggies:
Place roast back into the pot. Arrange carrots and potatoes around it. Add rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf.

6. Cover & roast:
Cover tightly with lid. Bake in the oven for 3–3.5 hours, or until beef is fork-tender.

7. Serve:
Remove herbs, slice or shred roast, and serve with veggies and gravy from the pot.
