Ingredients
  

  • 3 to 4 lb beef chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 yellow onion cut into large chunks
  • 4 carrots peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 4 medium potatoes cut into quarters (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work best)
  • 3 cloves garlic smashed
  • 2 cups beef broth or 1 cup broth + 1 cup red wine
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste optional, adds depth
  • Fresh herbs for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
  • Season the roast: Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Rub with salt, pepper, garlic powder.
  • Sear the meat:
  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.
  • Sear roast on all sides (about 3–4 minutes per side) until browned.
  • Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté aromatics:
  • In the same pot, add onion and garlic. Sauté 2–3 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato paste (if using), then add the broth/wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up brown bits.
  • Return roast to pot:
  • Place the chuck roast back into the pot.
  • Cover tightly with a lid.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 2 hours.
  • Add vegetables:
  • After 2 hours, carefully remove from oven.
  • Add potatoes and carrots around the roast.
  • Re-cover and return to oven for another 1 to 1½ hours, until the meat is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft.
  • Rest & serve:
  • Remove roast and veggies from the pot.
  • Let meat rest 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
  • Optionally, reduce the pan liquid on the stove to make a quick gravy.

Notes

Tips
For extra flavor, toss veggies in olive oil and seasoning before adding.
If you don’t have a Dutch oven, use a roasting pan covered. 
If you're keeping everything low carb, try these substitutions:
  • Onion 
  • Rutabaga or turnips
  • Celery
  • Radishes
  • Mushrooms
These vegetables can be added just like the original recipe—tossed around the roast and baked until tender.
