Instructions
Preheat oven to 325F. Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels and season generously on all sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms. Remove to a plate.
Tip: Don't move the meat while searing. A good crust = deep flavor in the finished dish.
Lower heat to medium. Add the onion and garlic, cook 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook 1 minute. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.
Return the roast to the pot. Add thyme and rosemary. Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook for 2 hours.
Add the potatoes and carrots around the roast. Cover and return to oven for 1 more hour, until the meat is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft.
Remove from oven. Let rest 10 minutes. Slice the roast against the grain and serve with vegetables and pan juices spooned over top.
