Printable Melt in Your Mouth Perfect Oven Pot Roast

• 1 3 lb beef chuck roast
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion roughly chopped
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 6 whole carrots sliced into 2 inch pieces
• 1 cup red wine you can use beef stock {broth} instead
• 2 - 3 cups of beef stock or broth
• 1 tsp dried thyme leaves or 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 3 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried rosemary
• salt and pepper to taste

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees.

• Generously season your roast with salt and pepper. Using a roast with some marbling in it will result in a more flavorful and tender roast.

• Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil.

• Toss in your roughly chopped onions when the oil in the pot is hot and saute them until they start to turn brown. Won't take but a couple of minutes. Add the garlic, and let cook for about 30 seconds - don't let it burn. Remove the onions and garlic to a plate.

• Toss the carrots into the same pan and let them cook a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Remove to same plate as the onions.

• If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the pan. Place the meat in the pan and brown it for about a minute on all sides. Remove the roast to a plate. Tip: Don't skip this step of browning the meat. You want a good color on your roast.

• Using either red wine or beef stock (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom with a whisk to get all of those wonderful bits of flavor from the bottom of the pan.

• Place the roast back into the pan and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway (about 2 to 3 cups). Add in the onion and the carrots, as well as rosemary and thyme.

• Put the lid on, then roast in the oven for 3 hours. The roast is done when it is falling apart.

• Serve with mashed potatoes and some crusty bread to sop up all of the delicious gravy from the roast.
