Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (3 pound) chuck roast, boneless
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth
- 3/4 cup dry red wine, optional
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 bay leaf

Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
Step 2 -In a large Dutch oven on the stove-top, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the roast with salt and pepper. Place the roast in the Dutch oven and brown on each side for 2 minutes per side. Place the roast on a cutting board or plate.
Step 3 -Sauté the onions until they brown, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 4 -Add in the garlic for the last minute of cooking so they become fragrant.
Step 5 -Add the roast back to the pan.
Step 6 -Pour the beef broth and red wine over the roast and add the thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf.
Step 7 -Once the pot reaches a simmer, cover the pot and transfer it to the oven.
Step 8 -Cook for 2 hours.
Step 9 -After 2 hours, remove the pot from the oven and add the carrots and potatoes.
Step 10 -Cover again and cook in the oven until everything is tender, about 1-1 1/2 hours.
Step 11 -Cut the meat into large pieces or shred and serve warm.
