Ingredients

  • 3 lb Chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 3 carrots peeled and sliced
  • 6-8 cloves garlic
  • 15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 1 tsp dry thyme or 2 tsp fresh
  • ¼ tsp dry sage or 1/2 tsp fresh

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • In a large oven-safe Dutch oven or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chuck roast and sear it until it's well-browned on all sides. This step helps lock in the flavors and juices. Remove the roast from the pan and set it aside.
  • In the same pan, add the diced onion, celery, carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften and the onions turn translucent.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes and red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off and the flavors to meld.
  • Place the seared chuck roast back into the pan on top of the vegetables.
  • Pour in the beef stock and sprinkle thyme and sage over the roast. These herbs will infuse the roast with aromatic flavors.
  • Cover the Dutch oven or skillet with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for about 3-4 hours or until the roast is fork-tender and easily pulls apart. Baste the roast with the liquid occasionally during cooking.
  • Once done, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice or shred the meat as desired.
  • Serve the tender chuck roast slices with the flavorful vegetables and the rich pan juices as a gravy.
