Shopping List

Exactly what to grab at the store — whole units, no guessing at "half an onion."

  • 3 lb chuck roast
  • 1 lb carrots
  • 2 lb potatoes
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • Dinner rolls, side
  • Herbs & garlic

How to Make It

  1. Sear chuck roast on all sides in a hot pot, about 8 minutes total.
  2. Add onion, carrots, potatoes, broth, and herbs.
  3. Cover and braise at 300°F (or simmer on the stovetop) for 2.5–3 hours until fork-tender.
  4. Rest 10 minutes, then slice or shred.
  5. Serve with the braised vegetables and dinner rolls, spooning pan juices over everything.

No-Time-For-That Tip: This is a lazy Sunday move — the braise does the work, you just can't open the lid and peek every ten minutes.
