Ingredients (For 6-8 Servings)
- Spice Blend:
- 5 tsp Kosher salt
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 1.5 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tsp Cayenne pepper
- Meat:
- 4 lbs Boneless Chuck Roast, excess fat removed
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Vegetables:
- 1 Medium white onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 Medium celery stalk, coarsely chopped
- 4 Medium cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped
- Aromatics:
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 2 cups Low-sodium beef broth
- 4 Fresh thyme sprigs
Instructions (Easy Difficulty)
- Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) and arrange a rack in the lower third.
- Mix the spice blend ingredients in a small bowl and evenly coat the roast all-around. Set it aside.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a tightfitting lid over medium heat until smoking, about 5 minutes. Brown the roast on all sides, about 20 minutes total; transfer it to a plate.
- Sauté the onion, celery, and garlic in the same pot until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the vegetables. Pour in the beef broth and scrape the browned bits from the bottom. Add the thyme, roast, and any collected juices to the pot, then bring to a simmer.
- Secure the lid, pop the pot into the oven, and cook until the roast is fork-tender, about 2.5 to 3 hours.
