Step 1

Preheat oven to 300°F.

Step 2

Remove the chuck roast from its packaging, leaving any twine around the roast intact.

Step 3

Combine the flour, salt, and pepper on a sheet of parchment paper or large plate. Dip each side of the roast into the flour mixture to coat all sides.

Step 4

Heat the oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the flour-coated roast to the Dutch oven and brown well on each side.

Step 6

Remove the roast from the pot and add the carrots and onions. Add a bit more oil if needed.

Step 7

Cook the vegetables over medium heat until onions just begin to brown. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Add the beef broth and the browned roast into the pan over the vegetables. Cover with a lid and place in the oven to cook for about 3 hours. The roast is done when it easily falls apart if you pull at it with a fork.
