# What You'll Need:
→ Beef
01 - 1 (3 to 4 pounds) chuck roast
02 - 2 teaspoons kosher salt
03 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Vegetables
05 - 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
06 - 3 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
07 - 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces
08 - 2 medium onions, quartered
09 - 4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
10 - 2 celery stalks, cut into large pieces
→ Braising Liquid and Seasonings
11 - 2 cups beef broth (gluten-free if needed)
12 - 1 cup dry red wine or additional beef broth
13 - 2 tablespoons tomato paste
14 - 2 teaspoons dried thyme
15 - 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
16 - 2 bay leaves
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 325°F.
02 - Pat chuck roast dry with paper towels and season all sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear roast for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply browned. Remove and set aside.
04 - Add onions, carrots, parsnips, potatoes, celery, and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
05 - Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
06 - Pour in red wine, scraping browned bits from bottom. Simmer 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
07 - Return roast to pot. Add beef broth, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves so liquid reaches halfway up roast sides.
08 - Cover and transfer pot to oven. Roast for 2.5 to 3 hours, turning roast once halfway, until beef is fork-tender and vegetables are cooked.
09 - Remove bay leaves. Let roast rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with vegetables and pan juices.
