Ingredients Quantities:
Main Ingredients:
- 3-4 lbs chuck steak roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine (optional)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Optional Addition:
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Prepare the Chuck Roast:
- Season the chuck steak roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
3. Sear the Meat:
- In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chuck roast on all sides until it forms a brown crust, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same pot, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until fragrant and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
5. Deglaze and Assemble:
- Pour in the red wine (if using) and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaves.
- Return the chuck roast to the pot and add the carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms (if using).
6. Cook the Roast:
- Cover the pot with a lid and place it in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
7. Serve:
- Remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for about 10 minutes.
- Slice the chuck roast and serve it with the vegetables and sauce from the pot.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Tips for Success:
- For a richer flavor, marinate the chuck roast in red wine, garlic, and herbs overnight before cooking.
- Ensure you sear the meat well to develop a deep flavor.
- Adjust the liquid level during cooking if necessary, adding more broth if the pot becomes too dry.
