Preheat oven to 300°F.

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove the roast and set aside.

Add chopped onions and garlic to the pot; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, black pepper, paprika, cumin, and bay leaves.

Return the roast to the pot, ensuring it's submerged in the liquid.

Add chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes around the roast.

Cover the pot and transfer to the oven; cook for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender.

Check occasionally, adding more broth if necessary to keep the liquid level high.

Once cooked, remove the roast and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Serve with the vegetables and pan juices.
