Ingredients:

  • For the Pot Roast:
    • 2-3 pound boneless chuck roast
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 onion, chopped
    • 2 carrots, chopped
    • 2 celery stalks, chopped
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 cup beef broth
    • 1/2 cup red wine (optional)
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Vegetables:
    • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
    • 4 carrots, peeled and chopped
    • 1 cup beef broth

Instructions:

  1. Sear the Roast: Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Season the roast with salt and pepper. Sear the roast on all sides until browned.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Remove the roast from the pot and add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Return the roast to the pot. Add the garlic, beef broth, red wine (if using), Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Slow Cook: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  5. Add Vegetables: Add the cubed potatoes and chopped carrots to the pot. Stir to combine.
  6. Continue Cooking: Cover and cook for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  7. Serve: Remove the roast from the pot and shred it with two forks. Serve the shredded roast over the potatoes and carrots, along with the flavorful cooking juices.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, add a few sprigs of fresh thyme and rosemary to the pot during cooking.
  • You can use any type of red wine you enjoy.
  • If you don’t have red wine, you can substitute with more beef broth.
  • For a richer flavor, use bone-in chuck roast.
  • This dish can be made in advance and reheated.
