Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 300°F. Pat the 3 lb beef chuck roast dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 1 tbsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to form a paste.

  3. Step 3

    Rub the herb paste all over the beef, pressing it into the surface.

  4. Step 4

    Place the beef in a roasting pan or Dutch oven. Roast uncovered for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium-rare or 160°F for medium.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing. The meat should be fork-tender and browned on the outside.

  6. Step 6

    Slice against the grain and serve with pan juices.
