Ingredients

Scale

1.5 pounds of chuck roast

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 carrots, peeled and sliced

2 stalks celery, chopped

2 cups beef broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme

2 bay leaves

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Season the chuck roast generously on all sides with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy; this is a big piece of meat, and it loves flavor!

In a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it’s beautifully browned.

Remove the roast and set it aside on a plate. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it’s soft and fragrant.

Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Return the roast to the pot, and add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaves, and Worcestershire sauce.

Bring the pot to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer away for about 2.5 to 3 hours.

If you like a thicker gravy, remove the roast at the end, mix the cornstarch with cold water in a small bowl, and whisk it into the pot. Simmer for a few more minutes until thickened.

Before serving, remove the bay leaves and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
