• Measuring spoons and measuring cups
• Liquid measuring cup
• Roasting pan with a lid (or a 4-6 quart dutch oven)
• Frying pan
• Large spoon

What kind of pan to use?

A deep oven roaster with a lid best for this recipe. The lid is crucial! It helps to have a heavy lid that will make a seal around the pot.

If you don't have a roasting pan or deep roaster, you can use a 4-6 quart dutch oven instead.

If you cannot find a pot with an oven safe lid, wrap a few layers of heavy duty aluminum foil over the top to mimix a lid.

What is a Chuck Roast?

Sometimes choosing the right cut of meat can be the hardest part of these kinds of recipes. I'm here to help with that!

The "chuck" is a cut of beef that comes from either the shoulder, neck, or upper arm of a cow. When you're looking for this cut at the grocery, look for words like "chuck eye," "chuck roll," or sometimes groceries will label it simply "pot roast."

While a shoulder roast comes from a similar area of the cow, it is not nearly as tender as a chuck cut! Chuck roast is the only kind that will really give you that melt-in-your-mouth texture.

If you can only find bottom round or top round, that should work as well but it will be more of a sliced meat, rather than fall-apart.

Lastly, never be intimidated to ask the butcher at your grocery for help! They are there to help you get the right cut of meat, and sometimes they can even cut you exactly how much you need from the back.

Chuck roast is one of the relatively inexpensive cuts of beef, but when cooked slow and low it can be as delicious as an expensive steak. Add the potatoes and carrots to the mix for a perfect winter meal.

How to cook a chuck roast in the oven

Step 1: prepare Ingredients and oven

Preheat the oven to 300F and take the chuck roast out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature.

Peel and chop the carrots into sticks. Clean and cut each baby potato in half.

Season the chuck roast on all sides with the salt and pepper.

Step 2: Brown the chuck roast

Heat olive oil in a frying pan on medium heat. When the oil is warm, sear the chuck roast on all sides until there is a golden brown crust – about 4 minutes each side.

Step 3: Prepare the roasting Juices

Thne, remove the chuck roast from the pan and drain any excess oil from the pan. Reduce the heat to medium low.

Mix beef broth, wine, and tomato paste in the pan. Scrape any brown bits off the bottom as you mix. Let this mixture simmer for five minutes.

Step 4: Fill the roasting pan

Arrange half the carrots and potatoes in a layer at the bottom of a roasting pan or a 4-6 quart dutch oven. Place the roast on top and arrange the rest of the carrots and potatoes around the meat.

Season with rosemary and thyme and pour the liquid from the pan over the top.

Step 5: Roast in the oven

Next, cover the roasting pan with a lid and place in the oven to cook. Cook for an hour and a half.

Then, remove from the oven and spoon the liquid from the bottom of the pan all over the roast and vegetables. Cover the pan and return it to the oven.

Cook another hour and a half until it has been 3 hours total. Remove from the oven and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.

Slice and serve with the carrots and potatoes!

Can I make this in a slow cooker?

Yes! You can make a tender chuck roast in the slow cooker using this same recipe. Sear the meat in a pan until it is brown on all sides.

Prepare the red wine jus in the pan. Place seared chuck roast and veggies in the slow cooker.

Cook over low for 6 hours or until the roast is fork tender. Cook times will vary depending on the size of the roast.

Storage and Reheating

Allow the dish to cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Reheat in an oven safe baking dish at 325 for 10 minutes or so, until warmed through. Serve with some of the leftover au jus.
