• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 1 bay leaf
• 6 medium carrots, peeled and chopped into 1.5-inch pieces
• 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into 1.5-inch pieces

Instructions

1. Prepare and Brown the Roast:
   • Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
   • Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
   • Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it on all sides (about 2 minutes per side) until browned. Remove the roast and set it aside.
2. Sauté Vegetables:
   • Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned. Add garlic during the last minute of cooking.
3. Assemble Ingredients for Slow Cooking:
   • Place the roast back in the pot. Add beef broth, red wine (if using), thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Slow Cook in the Oven:
   • Cover the pot with a lid and place it in the oven. Cook for 2 hours.
5. Add the Vegetables:
   • After 2 hours, remove the pot from the oven. Add the carrots and potatoes, season with additional salt and pepper, and stir gently.
   • Cover the pot and return it to the oven. Cook for an additional 1–1.5 hours, or until the meat and vegetables are tender.
6. Serve:
   • Remove the pot from the oven and discard the bay leaf and herb sprigs. Shred or slice the roast, then mix with the vegetables. Serve warm and enjoy!
