Easy Braised Beef Chuck Roast
Ingredients
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 1/2 pound beef chuck roast
1 yellow onion, roughly chopped into 1” pieces
1 cup carrot roughly chopped into 1″ pieces
1 cup celery roughly chopped into 1″ pieces
8 cloves garlic, smashed
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
15 ounce can beef stock
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt
fresh cracked pepper
fresh parsley for garnish
mashed potatoes for serving
Instructions
Heat oven to 325 degrees.
Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.
Pat chuck roast dry and season with salt and pepper on all sides.
Sear chuck roast until a dark golden-brown crust forms. Remove from pan and set aside.
Without wiping out the pan, add onion, carrot, celery, and a large pinch of salt and pepper to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium and add smashed garlic, Italian seasoning, tomato paste, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce along with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Move veggies to the outside of the pan and add seared beef chuck roast along with any juices that accumulated on the plate, beef stock, bay leaves, and another couple of large pinches of salt and pepper.
Cover and place in the oven to cook for about 3 hours or until it’s fall apart tender and shreds easily. This is a great time to make those mashed potatoes or mac and cheese.
Let the roast rest for about 10 minutes. Serve chuck roast on top of my super easy garlic mashed potatoes and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
