Instructions

Remove the chuck roast from the refrigerator and allow it to reach room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Pat the roast dry with paper towels, season thoroughly with kosher salt and black pepper.
Preheat the oven to 300°F.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until browned, then transfer to a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add sliced onions to the pot, cooking them for 4 to 5 minutes while scraping up the browned bits.
Add smashed garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to blend. If desired, add fresh thyme sprigs.
Return the roast to the pot with any collected juices, adjusting the liquid level to ensure it reaches about halfway up the roast.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and place it in the oven. Cook for 3 ½ to 4 hours, flipping the roast halfway through, until it is fork-tender.
Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, pull the roast apart gently.
Serve warm with mashed potatoes and mushroom shallot gravy.

Notes

Make sure to let the roast sit at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
For added flavor, consider marinating the roast overnight with the spices and olive oil.
