Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F. Pat the roast dry and season all over with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the roast 4 minutes per side until deeply browned. Remove to a plate.

  3. 3

    Add the onion, cut into wedges, and cook 3 minutes, then stir in garlic and tomato paste and cook 1 minute more.

  4. 4

    Pour in beef stock, scraping up the browned bits, then return the roast with thyme and bay leaves. Cover and transfer to the oven for 60 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add carrots cut into chunks and halved potatoes around the roast, cover, and cook 20 minutes more until everything is fork tender.

  6. 6

    Rest the roast 10 minutes, then slice or shred against the grain and serve with the vegetables and pan juices spooned over.
