Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 carrots sliced
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine optional, can substitute with additional beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 bay leaves

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef pieces with salt and pepper, then brown them in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove the beef and set it aside.
  3. In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  4. Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
  5. Pour in the red wine (if using) and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze it. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Return the browned beef to the pot and add the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  7. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  8. Remove the pot from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving. Discard the bay leaves.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, remove the beef once cooked and simmer the sauce on the stovetop until it reduces to your desired consistency.
  • You can add potatoes or mushrooms to the pot for additional flavor and heartiness.
