The Best Oven Chuck Roast Recipes

PERFECT POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
• Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
• Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
• If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
• With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
• Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
• Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.

• In a large heavy bottom skillet over medium high heat, add the oil and heat until shimmering. Transfer the chuck roast to the skillet and sear, turning once, about 4 minute per side or until the roast is nicely browned, adding more oil as necessary. Transfer the roast to a cutting board.
• Carve the roast into thick slices or chunks and transfer to a serving platter. Using a slotted spoon, remove the onions and arrange around the roast, if desired.
• Skim fat from the juices in the Dutch oven. Add remaining beef broth and heat over medium heat until warm. Ladle mixture into a gravy boat and serve. Or, use the mixture to make the beef gravy below.

• Put the flour, salt and pepper in a large pie plate. Blend together. Coat each of the meat chunks with flour. Shake off excess.
• Heat a large Dutch oven (at least 5 ½ quarts) on medium high heat. Add the oil. Place 2-3 chunks of meat at a time and brown on all sides. Stack the browned pieces to the side of the pot, and continue until all meat is browned. Turn off blaze.
• Spread out the chunks in the pot. Add the onions, anchovy paste, crusted tomatoes, diced tomatoes, pepperoncini/juice and nutritional yeast water. Blend the mixture with a wooden spoon. Add the fresh herb bouquet and push into the tomatoeee liquid.
• Cover with the lid. Roast in a 400-degree preheated oven for three hours. Check about every hour to see if water is needed as liquid will thicken and reduce. Add a cup or so of water, then cover and continue cooking.

• Preheat oven to 300F and allow chuck roast to come to room temperature. Peel and chop carrots into sticks. Clean and cut each baby potato in half.
• Season chuck roast on all sides with the salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When the oil is warm, sear the chuck roast on all sides until there is a golden brown crust - about 4 mins each side.

• Arrange half of the carrots and potatoes in a layer in the bottom of a roasting pan. Place the roast on top and arrange the rest of the carrots and potatoes around it. Season with rosemary and thyme and pour the liquid from the pan over top.
• 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 over the roast for a minute. Cover the pan and return it to the oven.
• Cook for another hour and half until the roast has cooked for 3 hours total. Remove from the pan and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Slice and serve with the carrots and potatoes.
• Skim the excess fat off the juice from the pan and serve with the sliced roast.
