Instructions:
1️⃣ Season and Sear the Roast:
Generously season the chuck roast with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove from the Dutch oven and set aside.
2️⃣ Sauté Aromatics:
In the same Dutch oven, add the sliced onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
3️⃣ Build the Braising Liquid:
Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, red wine (if using), thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Scrape the bottom of the Dutch oven to deglaze and release the flavorful browned bits.
