Ingredients

Scale

34 pounds chuck roast
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
46 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
1.5 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet), peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
34 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
½ cup Worcestershire sauce (use halal/vegetarian version if needed)
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and black pepper to taste


Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C)
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat
Sear chuck roast on all sides until browned (4–5 minutes per side)
Add onions and garlic; sauté 2 minutes
Add carrots, potatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper
Bring to a simmer, cover, and transfer to oven
Roast 3–4 hours until meat is fork-tender
