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 over medium-high heat. Add the roast and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the roast to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium. Add the sliced onion to the pot and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, scraping any browned bits from the bottom.
Add the smashed garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Add thyme sprigs, if using.
Return the roast to the pot with any accumulated juices.
Check the liquid level; it should reach halfway up the sides of the roast. Add more beef stock if necessary.
Cover with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Cook for 3 ½ to 4 hours, flipping the roast halfway, until fork-tender.
Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Pull the roast apart gently to serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the roast overnight with the seasonings.
Serve with freshly made mashed potatoes for a classic pairing.
Save leftover gravy for enhancing future meals.
