Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 3 to 4 pounds chuck roast
- ½ cup blue cheese, crumbled
Vegetables and Herbs:
- 1 yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 8 small Yukon gold potatoes
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
Liquid and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup (118 milliliters) heavy cream
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a gentle 325 degrees, preparing for a slow, tender roasting process.
- Massage the chuck roast with a robust blend of kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and aromatic thyme leaves, ensuring each surface is generously coated.
- Select a heavy-bottomed pan and heat vegetable oil until it shimmers with intense heat, creating the perfect searing environment.
- Carefully lower the seasoned roast into the sizzling pan, developing a rich, caramelized crust by browning each side for 4-5 minutes until a deep golden color emerges.
- Nestle chopped onions and quartered potatoes around the meat, creating a flavorful bed for the roast.
- Pour a mixture of robust beef broth, tangy Worcestershire sauce, and additional thyme over the roast, creating a moisture-rich cooking environment.
- Seal the pot with a tight-fitting lid and slide into the preheated oven, allowing the roast to transform into a tender masterpiece over 3-3.5 hours.
- Once cooking is complete, carefully extract the pot from the oven and remove the thyme sprigs.
- Gently transfer the roast and potatoes to a serving platter, keeping them warm and inviting.
- Transform the cooking liquid into a luxurious gravy by whisking in heavy cream and blue cheese crumbles, simmering on medium-high heat until the sauce thickens and becomes gloriously smooth.
- Break the roast into generous chunks and return to the gravy, ensuring each piece is lavishly coated.
- Plate the potatoes alongside the meat, generously drizzle with the blue cheese gravy, and sprinkle remaining blue cheese crumbles as a final, decadent touch.
Notes
- Browning the meat deeply creates a rich, caramelized exterior that locks in incredible flavor and ensures fork-tender results.
- Slow-cooking in a flavorful broth allows the meat to become incredibly tender while infusing each bite with savory depth and aromatic herbs.
