02 - 2 tsp kosher salt
03 - 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
04 - 2 tbsp olive oil

→ Vegetables

05 - 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

07 - 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces

10 - 2 celery stalks, cut into large pieces

→ Braising Liquid & Seasonings

11 - 2 cups beef broth (gluten-free if needed)
12 - 1 cup dry red wine or additional beef broth
13 - 2 tbsp tomato paste
14 - 2 tsp dried thyme
15 - 1 tsp dried rosemary
16 - 2 bay leaves

# How to make it:

01 - Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
02 - Pat the chuck roast dry and season thoroughly on all sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the roast for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.
04 - Add onions, carrots, parsnips, potatoes, celery, and garlic to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
05 - Stir in tomato paste and continue cooking for 1 minute to develop flavor.
06 - Pour in dry red wine while scraping up browned bits from the pot bottom. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
07 - Return the roast to the pot and add beef broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaves. Ensure liquid reaches halfway up the sides of the roast.
08 - Cover and place the pot in the oven. Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, turning the roast once midway, until the beef is fork-tender and vegetables are fully cooked.
09 - Remove bay leaves. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve alongside the roasted vegetables and pan juices.
