Prep all your veggies… chop celery, carrots, baby bella mushrooms and onions.
Cut chuck roast into large chunks. Season with black pepper and kosher salt (make sure to season both sides). Heat up some olive oil in a pot and sear chuck roast on both sides, remove and set aside. You may have to do this in batches. I seared mine in 2 batches.
In the same pot, sauté mushrooms for 5 minutes (note: mushrooms with decrease in size and will be slight crispy)
Add veggies (onions, carrots and celery). Cook for 5 minutes
Add 1 TBSP minced garlic and 1 TBSP tomato paste. Cook for a couple of minutes
Add beef broth, rosemary, thyme and salt and pepper to taste (about ½ tsp each). Bring to boil and then reduce heat to simmer and cook for 1 hour
After 1 hour, uncover, taste test and adjust if needed. Serve to preference... I served with cauliflower rice/ cauliflower mash.
