Chuck roast in the oven is comfort food at its best. Beef chuck roast is seared and then baked slowly with potatoes and carrots for a complete meal that kids love. Gluten-free.
⭐️Sear the chuck roast. Heat the olive oil in the dutch oven until it's hot and shimmering. Sear the roast on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove the roast and set it on a plate to the side.
⭐️Deglaze the pan. Add the onions and let cook 1-2 minutes. Slowly add the wine and whisk to deglaze the pan. Add the roast back to the pan. Pour the chicken or beef broth into the pan until the roast is about halfway covered. Add the bay leaves from the pot roast seasoning along with the fresh sage. Place the cover onto the pan.
3 medium onions, cut in half, 3 cups chicken or beef broth, 1 spring fresh sage, 1 cup red wine
⭐️Bake. Bake covered for 4 hours. Add the potatoes and carrots to the pan. Cover and continue to cook for an additional hour or until the meat falls apart.
6-8 large carrots, cut in 2-inch pieces, 1 pound baby potatoes
Notes
A shoulder roast will be less tender than a chuck roast due to less marbling (or fat) throughout the meat.
You may also find a chuck roast labeled as chuck eye, chuck roll or pot roast.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days then reheated in a Dutch oven with broth. You could also freeze for up to 3 months in the freezer.
Once the beef, carrots and potatoes are removed from the Dutch oven, mix together 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 Tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Then, slowly mix the slurry into the liquid in the pot and whisk until thick.
