A tender pot roast cooked with caramelized onions and beef broth in a Dutch oven. The meat becomes very soft and rich.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 large onions, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add sliced onions and cook until soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
  6. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  7. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
  8. Add thyme and bay leaves. Return the roast to the pot.
  9. Cover and cook in the oven for 3 hours, or until the meat is tender.
  10. Remove the bay leaves. If you want a thicker sauce, mix flour with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the liquid. Simmer for 2 minutes on the stovetop.

Notes

  • You can add carrots and potatoes during the last hour of cooking for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
