Ingredients

3 lbs boneless beef chuck roast
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp canola oil
0.5 cup water
0.5 cup red wine
1 tbsp dried basil
1 tbsp salt
0.5 tsp dried marjoram
0.5 tsp dried thyme
0.25 tsp ground black pepper
1 large onion, sliced
8 pearl onions, peeled and halved
6 red potatoes, washed and halved
6 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch lengths

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F).

2

Coat the roast in flour; set aside. In an oven-safe Dutch oven, heat canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the roast; brown on all sides, about 10 minutes in total. Off the heat, pour in water and red wine; add basil, salt, marjoram, thyme, and black pepper. Arrange onion slices on top of the roast.

3

Bake, covered, for 3 hours in the preheated oven. Add pearl onions, potatoes, and carrots. If the roast looks dry, add more water. Continue baking, covered, until the roast pulls apart easily with a fork, about 1 hour more.
