Ingredients:

  • 1 (3-4 pound) beef chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 celery stalks, cut into chunks
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F).
  2. In a large ovenproof pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it on all sides until browned.
  3. Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside. Add the sliced onions, carrots, celery, and minced garlic to the pot, and cook until they begin to soften.
  4. Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, and red wine (if using), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Return the roast to the pot and add the fresh thyme sprigs. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
  6. Cook for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  7. Remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the vegetables and pan juices.
