This Roasted Garlic Chuck Roast recipe requires a few herbs and several heads of garlic to create a deliciously tender roast. Braising for a few hours results in falling-apart meat that pairs perfectly with your favorite veggie sides.
1: Preheat oven to 350°F.
2: Season meat generously on all sides with salt and pepper.
3: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and add chuck roast.
4: Sear on all sides to develop a nice crust, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5: Remove meat and set aside.
6: Deglaze with beef broth and scrape off anything that has stuck to the pan.
7: Return meat to your pan along with herbs and garlic.
8: Cover and braise for three hours.
9: Remove from oven, carefully pull out garlic and let it cool slightly before squeezing it out of the peel back into the pan.
10: Discard herbs and shred meat into large chunks.
11: If meat is not shredding easily, return it to the oven for another 30 minutes.
12: Smash garlic into juices and toss chuck roast in garlic sauce.
13: Return to the oven and cook uncovered for an additional 30 minutes until top meat has crisped in some areas.
