Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Season the chuck roast evenly with salt and pepper.
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the butter and sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set it aside.
Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and deeply caramelized, about 20–25 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and dried thyme.
Lastly, pour in the beef broth and scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Place the roast back into the pot and spoon the onions over the top. Cover the pot with the lid, then transfer it to the oven.
Braise the beef for 3½–4 hours, or until it is fork-tender. Shred the beef, garnish with parsley. Enjoy!
