Ingredients

2-3 tablespoons olive oil
3-3 ½ pounds beef chuck roast trimmed of excess fat
3 large carrots peeled as desired & diced into chunky 1-inch pieces
2 stalks celery finely sliced
1 large yellow onion peeled & diced into 1-inch pieces
8 cloves garlic finely chopped or grated
2 cups dry red wine
2 cups beef stock
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 bay leaves
3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary
10-12 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for slurry
½ cup beef stock for slurry

Instructions

Prepare the beef chuck roast by letting it come to room temperature and seasoning generously with salt and pepper.
Brown the chuck roast in a Dutch oven with olive oil for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
Cook the aromatics (carrots, celery, onion, garlic) in the same pot for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Deglaze with red wine, then add the chuck roast back with beef stock, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, bay leaves, rosemary, and thyme. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 3-3.5 hours.
Transfer the roast to a plate, remove herbs, and thicken the braising liquid with a flour slurry if desired.
Shred the beef and serve it with the braised vegetables and sauce, preferably over mashed potatoes.
