Step-by-Step Instructions
- Generously season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on all sides, and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the beef roast for 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Sauté chopped onions, carrots, and celery in the same pot for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in red wine and deglaze the pot, scraping up browned bits and letting it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add beef stock, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste to the pot and stir to combine.
- Return the beef roast to the pot and add thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
- Cover and cook in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
- Remove from the oven, let it rest for 15 minutes, skim off excess fat, and slice the beef.
- Serve with the sauce poured over and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes
Stracotto tastes even better the next day! Prepare in advance and refrigerate overnight; reheating intensifies the flavors.
