02 - 2 tsp kosher salt
03 - 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
04 - 2 tbsp olive oil

13 - 2 tbsp tomato paste
14 - 2 tsp dried thyme
15 - 1 tsp dried rosemary
16 - 2 bay leaves
# Cooking Steps:
01 - Set oven temperature to 325°F.
02 - Pat chuck roast dry and season all sides evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the roast on each side for 3 to 4 minutes until deeply browned. Remove and set aside.
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 to deepen flavor.
06 - Pour in red wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom, and simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
07 - Return roast to the pot, then add beef broth, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Ensure liquid reaches halfway up the roast.
08 - Cover pot and roast in oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, turning roast once halfway through, until beef is tender and vegetables are cooked through.
09 - Remove bay leaves, let roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing, and serve alongside roasted vegetables with pan juices.
