2 tsp salt

2 tsp smoked paprika

2 tsp pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp cayenne

1 tsp brown sugar

3 lb chuck roast

1 yellow onion

4 cloves garlic

2 tbs tomato paste

1 cup dry red wine

1 1/2 cups beef broth

2 bay leaves & thyme
Pat the chuck roast dry and season on all sides with the seasoning blend.
Add oil to the pot and sear the roast on all sides until a nice crust forms, then remove it from the pot.
Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits.
Add the roast back into the pot along with beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme.
Cover the pot and place it in the oven at 300°F for about two hours.
After two hours, add chopped carrots, celery sticks, and baby potatoes to the pot and return it to the oven for one more hour.
After one hour, remove the potatoes and either leave them whole or mash them as desired.
Remove the roast, thyme, and bay leaves from the pot.
Prepare a cornstarch slurry by mixing cornstarch with water, then add it to the sauce while stirring.
Add the roast back into the pot and shred it up, ensuring the sauce is nice and thick.
