Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 4 lb chuck roast
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 large onion chopped
- 1 head of garlic remove skins on each clove
- 6 large carrots peeled, cut into 3" pieces
- 2 bay leaves
- 7 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 cup beef stock
- 1 cup red wine
- 8 small potatoes cut into large chunks
Instructions
To prepare the meat
- Bring meat to room temperature by leaving it out about an hour before you plan to cook it. Sprinkle all sides with salt and pepper and pat in. Sprinkle all sides with flour and pat in.
To make the pot roast
- Heat oil in an oven-proof dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the meat on all sides for about 5 minutes each. The meat should be darker with a seared crust.
- Tuck the onions around and under the beef and cook for about 5 or so minutes. You'll want them to caramelize a bit. Add the garlic cloves about a minute before the onions are done.
- Add the carrots, bay leaves, thyme, stock, and wine.
- Cover and bake 2 1/2 hours on 350.
- Add the potatoes and cook another 30 minutes.
- Plate the beef and vegetables. Spoon sauce over and serve
