Ingredients
Instructions
Set your oven to 325°F to prepare for slow roasting the chuck roast.
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it in the pot for 4-5 minutes per side to develop a brown crust. Remove and set aside.
Add the chopped onion and carrots to the same pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent, releasing its sweetness.
Pour in the red wine, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Then add beef broth, garlic, mushrooms, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring everything to a gentle simmer.
Return the seared chuck roast to the pot. Cover with the lid and place the Dutch oven in the preheated oven. Bake for 2½ hours to braise the meat until tender.
Carefully remove the pot from the oven, add Yukon gold potatoes to the broth, cover again, and roast for an additional 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Take the Dutch oven out of the oven, transfer the roast to a platter, and let it rest for 15 minutes. Shred the meat with two forks, spoon some of the flavorful cooking liquid over it, and serve alongside the vegetables.
