Ingredients
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 3-4 pounds chuck roast or rump roast
– 1 large onion, chopped, or two small onions
– 4 carrots, cut into 2″ pieces
– 2 stalks celery, cut into 1 ½” pieces
– 1 pound baby potatoes
– 1 cup red wine
– 2 cups beef broth, or as needed
– 4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
– ½ teaspoon rosemary
– ½ teaspoon thyme
– 1 bay leaf
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 300°F to start this delicious pot roast adventure.
2. Season your roast generously with salt and pepper for that perfect flavor.
3. In a large dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on each side until beautifully browned, around 4 minutes per side. Add more oil if needed for that extra crispiness.
4. Arrange your chopped onions around the roast, creating a delicious base of flavors.
5. Combine the red wine, beef broth, rosemary, garlic, and thyme in a bowl. Pour this flavorful mixture over the roast, adding the bay leaf for an extra touch of aroma.
6. Bring the pot to a gentle simmer on the stovetop over medium-high heat, ensuring all the flavors meld together. Once simmering, cover the pot and place it in the oven to cook for 2 hours.
7. After 2 hours, add in the baby potatoes, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for an additional 2 hours for a 4lb roast, or until the meat and vegetables are tender and easy to fork through.
8. Remove the bay leaf and then gently shred the beef with a fork or slice into thick pieces. Serve with the delicious cooking juices or prepare a gravy for an even richer flavor.
