Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lbs chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup dry red wine (like Cabernet Sauvignon)
- Fresh rosemary and thyme, to taste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions

- Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper.
- In a large oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the roast on all sides until browned.
- Add the garlic, onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté for a few minutes.

Notes
For a flavorful broth, use homemade beef broth if possible. Letting the roast rest after cooking retains its juices.
