WOULD YOU EAT THIS POT ROAST OVER MASHED POTATOES

Directions:
1- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper.

2- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, then remove from the pot.

3- Add chopped onion and garlic to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes.

4- Pour in beef broth and red wine (if using), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add thyme and bay leaves, then return the roast to the pot. Cover and transfer to the oven. Roast for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.
