Yield: 4
- - 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- - 4 carrots peeled and sliced into chunks
- - 4 potatoes peeled and quartered
- - 2 onions quartered
- - 4 cloves garlic minced
- - 2 cups beef broth
- - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- - 1 teaspoon salt
- - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- - 2 tablespoons olive oil
- - 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- - 3 sprigs fresh thyme
Heat the olive oil in a big saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef chuck roast and sear on both sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes each.
Remove the roast and set it aside. In the same saucepan, saute the onions and garlic until transparent, about 2-3 minutes.
Place the beef back into the pot. Combine the carrots, potatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low and cover. Simmer for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is soft and breaks apart easily.
Remove the herbs before serving. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as required.
