Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 3 to 4 lb Beef Chuck Roast, well-marbled

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 2 large Carrots, chopped
  • 1 large Onion, chopped
  • 3 Garlic Cloves, minced

Liquids and Herbs

  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • 1 cup Red Wine
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary

Gravy Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 3 tbsp All-purpose Flour
  • 4 oz Blue Cheese, crumbled

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roast: Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Heat a sturdy roasting pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then sear the roast on all sides until a deep brown crust forms to lock in flavor.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Remove the roast and add chopped onions, carrots, and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until softened and aromatic, layering your flavor base.
  3. Add Liquids and Herbs: Pour in the red wine and scrape up browned bits from the pan. When the wine reduces slightly, add beef broth along with fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs, then place the roast back into the pan.
  4. Slow Cook the Pot Roast: Cover the pan and bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 3 to 4 hours until the beef is fork-tender and falling apart.
  5. Make the Blue Cheese Gravy: Remove the meat and vegetables to a serving dish and tent with foil. Strain the pan juices into a saucepan. Melt butter over medium heat, whisk in flour to form a roux, and slowly add the strained liquid, stirring until thickened. Crumble in blue cheese and simmer gently until smooth and creamy.
  6. Serve: Slice or shred the pot roast and generously pour the blue cheese gravy over it for an indulgent finish that impresses at any table.

Notes

  • Choose well-marbled chuck roast to ensure tenderness and juiciness.
  • Don’t skip the searing step to develop deep, rich flavors.
  • Be patient with slow cooking for melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  • Strain pan juices to achieve a silky, lump-free blue cheese gravy.
  • Adjust the amount of blue cheese to suit your taste preferences.
