Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast (or rump roast)
- 1 large yellow onion (chopped, or two small onions)
- 2 cups beef broth (or as needed)
- 1 cup red wine (*see note)
- 4 cloves garlic (coarsely chopped)
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 pound baby potatoes (or chopped red potatoes)
- 4 carrots (cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 2 ribs celery (cut into 1 ½-inch pieces)
- all-purpose flour (or cornstarch, see notes)
- butter (for optional roux-based gravy, see notes)
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 300°F.
-
Season roast with salt and pepper.
-
In a large Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on each side until browned, about 4 minutes per side adding more oil if needed.
-
Arrange onions around the roast. Combine broth, wine, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Pour over the roast. Add bay leaf.
-
Bring just to a simmer on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Once the broth is simmering, cover and place in the oven and cook 2 hours.
-
Add potatoes, carrots, and celery, cover and cook an additional 2 hours (for a 4 lb. roast) or until the roast and potatoes are fork-tender.
-
Discard bay leaf. Gently pull beef into large pieces with a fork or slice into thick pieces. Serve with juices or make gravy (below) if desired.
