Preheat the oven to 275°F.

Peel and cut 3-4 large carrots into 3-inch pieces.

Peel and quarter 1 medium-size yellow onion and set aside.

Trim the beef chuck roast, removing any thick areas of fat.

Season the roast with a good amount of salt and pepper.

Add about 1 tablespoon of avocado or olive oil to a large oven-safe pot (Dutch oven) and heat over medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, add the roast and sear until all sides are browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Transfer the roast to a plate.

Add the chopped vegetables (carrots, onions, and celery) to the pot and stir, cooking for a couple of minutes.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme and 1/4 teaspoon of dried rosemary to the vegetables.

Layer the roast on top of the vegetables in the pot.

Cover the pot and cook in the preheated oven until the roast is tender, about 2.5 to 3 hours.
