Beef Chuck Roast Recipe FAQs
How to Cook a Roast in the Oven
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Season the beef on all sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large Dutch oven, place the butter and vegetable oil over medium high heat. Once hot and the butter is melted, add the seasoned beef and sear until golden brown on all sides. Remove to a plate and set aside.
- Toss together the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, potatoes, and rosemary in the pan. Allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until browned.
- Stir in the tomato paste and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with the red wine, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Place the seared beef back in the pan and top with the beef stock and add bay leaves.
- Cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook until the beef is tender and shreds easily, about 5-6 hours.
- Season with more salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaves before serving. Serve hot with desired sides.
I tried it! It came out perfect!

Shoulder Roast vs. Chuck Roast
The shoulder roast is leaner than the chuck roast, making it better for cutting into slices. Chuck roast has a “pulled” texture and shreds with a fork, making it perfect for roast beef with potatoes and carrots.
Best Roast for Pot Roast
- Chuck is from the front portion of the animal. This is my favorite cut for pot roast. I like to look for chuck roast, shoulder steak, boneless chuck roast, chuck shoulder pot roast, or beef chuck arm.
- Brisket is from the breast or lower chest. There are two sections, the flat cut which is leaner, and the point cut which has more fat. My favorite brisket recipes are slow cooker brisket and smoked brisket.
- Round is from the rear leg area of the animal. Look for eye round, rump roast or bottom round. I love making a delicious eye of round roast.
How Long to Cook a Chuck Roast in the Oven
Follow this easy guide to roasting chuck roast according to the size of your cut of beef. Our Beef Cooking Chart has more info!
- Cook a 3 pound roast for 3-3.5 hrs
- Cook a 4 pound roast for 3.5-4 hrs
- Cook a 5 pound roast for 4.5-5 hrs
Pot Roast Internal Temp
When it’s ready, the chuck roast will read about 190 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit on a meat thermometer. However, rather than checking the internal temp of chuck roast in the oven, check for its tenderness according to whether it’s fork-tender. If you can shred it easily with a fork, it’s done.
Our Roast Beef Temperature Chart will guide you on the perfect temperature for your pot roast.
This is an amazing dish. Will definitely make it again. So much more flavor than same cooked in crock pot

I love easy cuts of beef and another one of my favorites is brisket. My smoked brisket recipe will have your entire family drooling when you make it. It takes a bit of time on the smoker but boy is it worth it.
