This hearty dish brings out the deep, savory flavors of slow-cooked chuck roast, paired with tender carrots and baby potatoes. Perfect for a cozy family dinner.
Preheat oven to 300°F. Let chuck roast come to room temperature. Peel and chop carrots into sticks. Clean and halve the baby potatoes.
Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. In a frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sear the roast on all sides until golden brown (about 4 minutes per side).
Remove the roast, discard excess oil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add beef broth, and tomato paste. Scrape the bottom to deglaze and simmer for 5 minutes.
Layer half the carrots and potatoes in a roasting pan. Place the roast on top, then layer the remaining vegetables around it. Sprinkle rosemary and thyme. Pour the broth mixture over the roast.
Cover and bake for 1.5 hours. Baste with pan juices, then cover again and cook for another 1.5 hours (3 hours total).
Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with carrots and potatoes. Skim excess fat from the pan juices and serve as a sauce.
Notes
This meal is perfect for a Sunday dinner or any time you want a cozy, satisfying dish. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the juices.
