Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3-5 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) French onion soup
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large oven-safe pot, heat some oil over medium heat and sear the roast on all sides until browned, then remove from the pot.
  4. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Cooking
  1. Pour in the French onion soup, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well.
  2. Return the roast to the pot and add fresh thyme if using.
  3. Cover and place in the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours or until the roast is tender and falls apart easily.
Serving
  1. Serve warm, optionally with mashed potatoes or fresh bread.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for about 3 months. Reheat with a splash of beef broth to maintain juiciness.
