Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 3 lbs of beef chuck roast
- 1 cup of red wine
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix 1 cup of red wine, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Place the 3 lbs of beef chuck roast in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the roast. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Remove the roast from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for basting.
- Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the roast to a roasting pan and pour the reserved marinade over the top.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- Baste the roast with the pan juices every 30 minutes while cooking.
- Once done, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the roast against the grain and serve with the pan juices as a sauce.
