Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion (diced)
- 1 rib celery (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (smashed)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes (halved or quartered)
- 1 pound carrots (diced)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F. Pat the chuck roast dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown, then set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, add onion and celery, and cook for 8-10 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce; cook for another minute.
- Deglaze with chicken stock, return the roast to the pot, cover tightly, and braise for about two hours in the oven.
- Add potatoes and carrots into the pot, cover again, and continue cooking for an additional hour to an hour-and-a-half until everything is fork-tender.
- Remove the roast and veggies; thicken gravy with cornstarch mixed with cold water before serving.
