Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 lb Chuck Roast
  • 1 cup Carrots chopped
  • 1 cup Celery chopped
  • ½ large Onion chopped
  • 1 tbsp Garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 1.5 cups Red Wine
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Minced Onion
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Roast: Pat the chuck roast dry and season generously with salt, pepper, minced onion, and garlic powder.
  • Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté the Veggies: In the same pot, add carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Build the Sauce: Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes. Pour in red wine and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pot. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Braise the Beef: Return the roast to the pot. Cover and transfer to a preheated oven at 325°F. Braise for 2.5–3 hours, or until beef is fork-tender.
  • Final Touches: Adjust seasoning if needed. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before serving.
