Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lb chuck roast
- 4 medium yellow onions, sliced
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Generously season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp oil and sear the roast on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes per side).
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, add sliced onions, and cook until caramelized (20-25 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- In a Dutch oven or roasting pan, place the seared roast at the bottom. Top with caramelized onions, pour in beef broth, and add thyme.
- Cover tightly and bake for about 3 hours or until fork-tender.
- Remove from the oven, let rest briefly before slicing, and serve drizzled with pan juices.
