1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
2

Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy pot or cast-iron Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chuck roast and brown completely, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Season with salt and black pepper, then transfer to a platter. Reserve the oil in the pot.
3

Add onion and garlic to the pot; cook and stir until the onion is golden, about 15 minutes. Stir in beef stock, tomatoes, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, and bay leaves; bring to a boil. Return the roast to the pot and cover.
4

Cook in the preheated oven until the roast is very tender, 4 to 4 1/2 hours.
5

Scatter carrot slices around the roast; bring to a boil on the stovetop over medium heat. Return the roast to the oven for 30 minutes more. Distribute potatoes around the roast; bring to a boil on the stovetop over medium heat. Return the roast to the oven until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes more.
6

Transfer the roast to a serving platter, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
7

Stir mushrooms into the drippings in the pot; bring to a simmer on the stovetop over low heat. Whisk cornstarch into cold water in a small bowl, then stir into the drippings. Season with celery salt, basil, and thyme; simmer the gravy until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Slice the roast and arrange it on a platter surrounded by the vegetables. Serve with gravy.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
