Ingredients
- 1 chuck roast, 3-4 pounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 yellow onions, quartered
- 6 carrots
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon parsley, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Take your meat out of the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking and generously salt and pepper it. I put 1 tablespoon of salt in the ingredients, but you should use as much or as little as you are comfortable with.
- Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Then add olive oil.
- Rough chop carrots into 2-3 inch pieces. (after cutting off the top this meant I was cutting the carrots in half on the diagonal.)
- Cut two onions in half and add them to the hot pot, browning them on one side and then the other. Remove the onions to a plate.
- Add carrots to the same pot and brown them slightly. (about 1 minute) Remove and set them on a plate with the onions.
- Add butter to the pot and allow to melt. Place the meat in the pan and sear it for about a minute on both sides until it is nice and brown all over.
- Add onions and carrots back to pan with meat. Cover and roast at 275°F for about 3 hours. I started checking mine at 2 hours. You want the meat to be cooked through and to tear easily with a fork.
