Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 lbs. beef chuck roast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 4 cups sliced sweet onion

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper.

  2. In a Dutch oven, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat; brown roast on all sides. Remove from pan. Add onions to the same pan; cook and stir over medium heat until tender, 8-10 minutes. Add tomato paste, garlic, thyme, and celery seed; cook and stir 1 minute longer.
