Ingredients

Scale
  • 4.5 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 8 medium carrots (cut into large pieces)
  • 3 medium onions (each cut into large wedges)
  • 2 cups canned beef broth or stock+ more if needed (try and buy the low sodium)
  • 1/2 a cup of red wine
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 sprigs of thyme
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 10 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch+1 tablespoon warm water (mix with finger until smooth and no lumps remain*)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large dutch oven pot, pour in the 2 tablespoons of oil and bring up to high heat.
  3. Season the meat with the course salt and ground pepper. Be liberal with it.
  4. Once the oil is smoking in the pan, place the beef into the pan and sear it on all sides. This will take about 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the meat and place on large plate or cutting board. Slather the meat with the minced garlic and reserve.
  6. Add stock, tomato paste, red wine, worcestershire sauce, cornstarch and water mixture, thyme sprigs.
  7. With a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon, scrub the bottom of the pan to remove all browned bits. This is your flavor!!! Do not lose it. Bring the mixture up to a simmer.
  8. Add in your meat fat side up. Make sure the liquid comes up half way up the meat. If you need more liquid just add in a bit more broth or stock.
  9. Cover with a tight fitting lid or with foil. Cook for 3 hours.
  10. Remove from the oven add in the vegetables and cook for another hour.
  11. Once it is pulling apart with a fork nicely, it is done. You can then remove the vegetables and the meat and skim the fat.
  12. Serve.

Notes

1. You can make this a one pot complete dinner by adding in some potatoes cut into large wedges in the last hour of cooking.
2. Combining the cornstarch with the water is called a slurry. It will thicken up your sauce nicely and will not clump up.
