Ingredients

  • (4 lb) beef chuck roast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, cut into large dice
  • 5 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
  • 5 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 celery stalks, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1/3 cup plain flour
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • (1 1/2 lb) potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

Method

  1. Season the beef all over with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat and sear the beef 4 to 5 minutes per side until deeply browned. Transfer to a slow cooker.
  2. Scatter the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and potatoes around the beef.
  3. Whisk the flour into the broth until smooth, then whisk in the wine, rosemary, and thyme. Pour over the beef and vegetables.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours until the beef is fall-apart tender and the vegetables are soft.
  5. Lift out the beef and shred or slice it thickly. Return it to the cooking liquid to keep warm.
  6. Serve the beef and vegetables spooned over with the braising liquid as gravy, seasoning to taste.
