# How-To:
01 - Set oven to 325°F (165°C).
02 - Pat chuck roast dry with paper towels and season all sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the roast 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply browned; remove and set aside.
04 - Add onions, carrots, parsnips, potatoes, celery, and garlic to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
05 - Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to enhance flavor.
06 - Pour in dry red wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom and simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
07 - Return the seared roast to the pot; add beef broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaves ensuring liquid reaches halfway up the roast.
08 - Cover and place pot in oven; roast for 2.5 to 3 hours, turning the roast once halfway through, until beef is fork-tender and vegetables are cooked.
09 - Remove bay leaves, let roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing, and serve alongside roasted vegetables and pan juices.
