# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 325°F.
02 - Pat chuck roast dry with paper towels and season all sides with kosher salt and black pepper.

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.
06 - Pour in red wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
07 - Return the roast to the pot. Add beef broth, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Ensure liquid reaches halfway up the roast.
08 - Cover pot and roast in preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, turning 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. Serve with roasted vegetables and pan juices.
