02 - 2 teaspoons kosher salt
03 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Vegetables
05 - 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
06 - 3 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
07 - 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces
08 - 2 medium onions, quartered
09 - 4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
10 - 2 celery stalks, cut into large pieces
→ Braising Liquid & Seasonings
11 - 2 cups gluten-free beef broth
12 - 1 cup dry red wine (or additional beef broth)
13 - 2 tablespoons tomato paste
14 - 2 teaspoons dried thyme
15 - 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
16 - 2 bay leaves
# Method:
01 - Set oven temperature to 325°F.
02 - Pat chuck roast dry with paper towels and season all sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat; sear roast 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply browned, then remove and set aside.
04 - Add onions, carrots, parsnips, potatoes, celery, and garlic to the pot; sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
05 - Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to develop flavor.
06 - Pour in red wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot; simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
07 - Return roast to pot. Add beef broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaves ensuring liquid reaches halfway up roast sides.
08 - Cover pot and place in oven; cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, turning the roast once halfway through, until beef is fork-tender and vegetables are cooked.
09 - Remove bay leaves. Let roast rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with roasted vegetables and pan juices.
