This deeply savory braise starts with a chuck roast seared until mahogany-dark, then slowly simmered with onion, garlic, tomato paste, and a splash of red wine until the whole pot turns rich and fragrant. Beef broth and diced tomatoes build a robust braising liquid, while thyme and bay leaf add that classic, cozy backbone of flavor. Yukon Gold potatoes and carrots go in partway through the cook, soaking up all that savory depth until they're fork-tender alongside the meat. The gravy comes together right in the pot, thickened until glossy and spoon-coating, then ladled generously over the pulled roast and vegetables. It's a comforting, low-and-slow Sunday dinner that fits neatly into a dairy free table without missing a beat. Finish with a scatter of fresh parsley for a pop of color and brightness against all that deep, roasted flavor.

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Pat the chuck roast thoroughly dry with paper towels, then season all over with the salt and pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large (6-quart) Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the roast and sear undisturbed for 4–5 minutes per side, until a deep mahogany crust forms and the meat releases easily from the pot. Transfer the roast to a plate.
