Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef chuck roast
• 4 medium carrots
• 2 large onion
• 3 medium potatoes
• 3 cups beef broth
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Cut 2 lbs beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes, then season generously with 1.5 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, then brown beef in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until deeply seared, transferring to a plate.
2. Step 2: Add 2 chopped large onions and 4 diced carrots to the pot, cooking for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in 2 tbsp tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes until darkened.
3. Step 3: Return beef to pot, add 3 cups beef broth, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 3 tbsp all-purpose flour. Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 2 hours.
4. Step 4: After 2 hours, add 3 diced potatoes to the pot, cover, and cook for an additional 45 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender and beef is fall-apart tender.
