Instructions

Remove the chuck roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Pat the roast dry with paper towels, then season 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 per side until browned, then transfer to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium and add the sliced onion to the pot, cooking for 4 to 5 minutes while scraping up browned bits.
Add smashed garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Add fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.
Return the roast to the pot along with any juices.
Check the liquid level; it should be halfway up the roast. Add more beef stock if needed.
Cover with a lid and transfer to the oven, cooking for 3 ½ to 4 hours or until fork-tender, flipping the roast halfway through.
Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes. Gently pull apart to serve.

Notes

Letting the roast reach room temperature will ensure even cooking.
Feel free to add vegetables like carrots or celery for added flavor and nutrition.
Resting the meat helps retain its juices, making it more flavorful.
