Ingredients list
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 pounds boneless chuck roast
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by assembling all the necessary ingredients.
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add oil and sear the roast in the center of the pan for about four minutes. Flip and sear each side for another three to four minutes. Remove from pan.
- Place onion, garlic, and one bay leaf in the bottom of the pot. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return the roast and lay the other bay leaf on top. Cover.
