Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs beef chuck roast
- 4 medium carrots, chopped
- 2 large yellow onions, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper and sear until browned on all sides (about 3-4 minutes each side).
- Remove the roast and add onions, carrots, and garlic to the pot; sauté until onions are translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Pour in red wine, scraping up any brown bits from the pot; simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Return the roast to the pot and add beef broth until submerged halfway. Add thyme and rosemary.
- Cover and slow cook on low heat for 3-4 hours in the oven or transfer to a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.
- Once fork-tender, shred the meat with two forks and return it to the liquid before serving.
