    One 3 to 5-pound chuck roast
    2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil
    2 whole onions, peeled and halved
    6 to 8 whole carrots, unpeeled, cut into 2-inch pieces
    1 cup red wine, optional
    3 cups beef broth
    2 or 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
    2 or 3 sprigs fresh thyme
    How To Prepare:

    To start, you will need to get your oven nice and toasty. Preheat the oven to a somewhat low temperature of about 275 degrees F.
    You’ll want to prep the chuck roast by adding some flavor to it with salt and pepper. Use a generous amount to fully coat the meat.
    Get a large pot ready by adding a touch of olive oil and warming over medium-high heat. Brown the onions on both sides and then set aside.
    Repeat with the carrots.
    Repeat with meat. Feel free to add a little more olive oil if necessary. You want to sear the meat on all sides without burning it.
    Deglaze the pan to get all of those yummy flavor bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pot. You can use red wine or beef broth to do this.
    Place the meat back in the pot and cover with beef broth. Then add the carrots, onions and herbs.
    Cover and roast one hour per pound. With that said, the roast is done when the meat is fall apart tender.
