Directions
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Season and Sear:
- Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.

3. Sauté Vegetables:
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot.
- Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Deglaze the Pot:

- Add the rosemary and thyme sprigs on top.
6. Braise:
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls apart easily.
7. Serve:
- Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the roast with the cooked vegetables and a drizzle of the pan juices.
