Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Pot
  • Whisk
  • Oven
  • Plate

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp. Olive oil
  • 1 cup Red wine
  • 3 cups Beef broth
  • 1 cup Onion peeled and halved
  • 6-8 Carrots sliced
  • 1 tsp. Salt

Instructions
 

  • Set the oven to 275°F degrees.

  • Drizzle some extra olive oil into the pan, and sear the chuck roast for a minute, on both sides.

  • Place the lid and roast for about three and a half hours.

Notes

  • The meat — This pan roast recipe is only as good as the cut of meat, so choose carefully. While chuck roast is simply great, if you are looking for an alternative keep in mind that you should go for a cut with a good amount of marbling.
 
  • The cooking — Although this pan roast recipe clearly states that you should cook the chuck roast for a good 3 ½ hours, you should also check the dish to see if it’s ready. The chuck roast should be tender enough to fall apart.
