INGREDIENTS

2 lbs chuck roast
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic
1 pint mushrooms, chopped
2 sprigs of thyme
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into logs
6 gold potatoes
salt and pepper

STEPS

1) Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.

2) Sear chuck roast in a dutch oven on medium heat until beautifully browned.

3) Remove the meat and sweat the onions, garlic, mushrooms and thyme on low heat.

4) Once they start to get a little tender, place the meat on top and tuck the carrots and potatoes around it.

5) Cover and cook for 5 to 6 hours at 275 or until an internal temperature of 205°F is reached: This is the ideal temperature for pot roast, as it ensures the collagen breaks down, making the meat incredibly tender and easy to shred.
