Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 3 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for searing
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine optional
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
For the Vegetables
  • 4 carrots carrots peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 stalks celery cut into chunks
  • 2 cups potatoes cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
For Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  3. Remove the roast and set aside. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the tomato paste, red wine, and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  5. Return the roast to the pot and add the carrots, celery, potatoes, and Italian seasoning. Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed around the roast.
  6. Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  7. Remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve the pot roast with the vegetables, garnished with fresh parsley.

For a richer flavor, you can marinate the roast in red wine for a few hours before cooking. Adjust the seasoning to your taste and feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms.
