Garlic Chuck Roast Recipes

THYME AND GARLIC CHUCK ROAST WITH VEGGIES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Put 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a skillet. Brown both sides of the chuck roast.
• 2. Then put into a roaster pan. Next, peel and slice the garlic. Put into the same skillet with drippings and saute until lightly browned. Now put the garlic on top of the roast. Add 2 cups of water to the skillet to loosen any remaining drippings. Pour this over the roast. Sprinkle the thyme and parsley on top of the garlic.
• 3. Cover and cook for 2 hours at 425 F. While this is cooking prepare your veggies to add to the roast.
• 4. After 2 hours, add 1 more cup of water, the vegetables and diced tomatoes to the roasting pan. Stir gently.

• In a Dutch-oven, heat oil over high heat. Carefully add meat and sear on all sides until very well browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Add onion, carrots, celery, and 2/3 cup water. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low; cook until roast is very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours, turning 2 to 3 times. Add more water or wine, if desired, as needed so that there is always a little liquid in bottom of Dutch-oven. If done in the oven, the temperature should be 300 degrees, and the roast should cook for 3 to 3 1/2 hours until tender.

• Using the tip of a sharp paring knife, make 20 to 24 evenly spaced small slits about 1 1/2-inches deep all over the pot roast. Using your fingers, insert the garlic cloves as deep into the meat as possible. Season the roast evenly on all sides with the salt and pepper.
• Heat a Dutch oven over high heat. Add the oil and, when very hot, use the meat fork to add the roast. Sear on all sides until very well browned, about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Don't be afraid to let the roast get very brown -- this is where a lot of the flavor comes from. When the roast is evenly browned on all sides, add the water and stir to loosen the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Cover the Dutch oven, reduce the heat to low/medium-low and cook the roast until it is very tender, about 3 hours, turning two or three times during the entire cooking time. Check occasionally to make sure that you always have 1-inch or so of liquid on the bottom of the pan. If necessary, add more water.
• When the roast is very tender, transfer to a serving platter and slice or pull meat apart into serving pieces. Reduce the pan juices slightly, if desired, and serve drizzled over the top of the roast. Garnish with fresh thyme and parsley.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place all vegetables except the beets in a roasting pan. Place beets in a separate roasting pan. Drizzle all vegetables with extra-virgin olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
