Ingredients
  

For the Roast
  • 3 lbs chuck roast the star of your dish, yielding juicy, tender bites.
  • 2 tsp salt enhances the meat's natural flavor and promotes tenderness.
  • 1 tsp black pepper adds a subtle kick to balance the richness.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil aids in achieving a beautiful sear and adds depth to the flavor.
For the Aromatics
  • 2 large onions, chopped bring sweetness and richness to the roast as they caramelize.
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced infuse the dish with an irresistible aroma and flavor.
For the Broth & Herbs
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium) provides moisture and a savory base to the dish.
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried) adds earthy notes; fresh herbs elevate the taste!
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried) complements the beef beautifully, infusing a lovely fragrance.

Equipment

  • roasting pan
  • skillet
  • paper towels
  • aluminum foil

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). This ensures an even cooking temperature for your roast.
  2. Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels and generously season all sides with salt and black pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 4–5 minutes on each side until browned.
  4. Carefully move the seared roast to a roasting pan. In the same skillet, sauté chopped onions and minced garlic for 3–4 minutes until fragrant, then add them to the roasting pan.
  5. Pour the beef broth over the roast, then sprinkle with fresh thyme and rosemary.
  6. Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil or a lid and bake in the preheated oven for about 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.

Notes

Let the roast rest for at least 15 minutes after baking; this allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier result.
