Ingredients

3 to 4 pounds beef roast such as chuck roast
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup red cooking wine
2 cups beef broth
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
1 pound baby carrots
1 pound red potatoes cut into large pieces
2 large onions cut into wedges

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Sear the Beef Roast:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef roast on all sides with salt and pepper. Sear the roast in the hot oil until browned on all sides, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Prepare the Roasting Dish:

Transfer the seared roast to the center of a large baking or roasting dish. Arrange the carrots, potatoes, and onion wedges evenly around the meat.

Prepare the Sauce:

Using the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the remaining oil and sauté for approximately 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Pour in the red wine, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Assemble the Roast Pot:

Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the roast and surrounding vegetables in the baking dish.

Cover and Bake:

If using a roasting dish with a lid, cover securely. If using a baking dish, cover tightly with aluminum foil. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 3 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.

Serve:

Remove from the oven, allow the roast to rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then slice or shred and serve with the vegetables and pan juices.
