1.5-2 lb chuck roast
6 baby potatoes
1 onion sliced
1 carrot peeled and cut into large chunks
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp steak dry rub or for lighter seasonings just sprinkle with salt and pepper
1/2 c beef broth

Rinse and dry the beef, blotting it with paper towels. Brush with olive oil, dry rub or just some salt and a sprinkle of pepper on the outside.
Heat a frying pan over medium/high heat, add meat and brown on all sides to get a crust on each side. This will allow the beef to stay juicier while roasting. Transfer the meat to a baking dish.
Cut the baby potatoes in half, cut the onion into four parts, peel and cut the carrots into large chunks. Fry in a dry frying pan for 3-4 minutes. Transfer the fried vegetables to a baking dish, salt these a little bit.
Pour the broth into the baking dish, add sprigs of thyme and rosemary if desired. Cover the baking dish with a lid or foil in several layers. Put in the oven, preheated to 350F.
Approximate baking time for 1.5 lbs. will be about 1 hour and 30 minutes to be juicy and become pulled beef, 1 hr. 15 min to slice. If you want it to be fork tender, test by inserting and twisting with a fork to see if meat separates from the rest of the chunk, this typically happens once it reaches 190 F internally. (remember when resting the temp will rise another 5-10 degrees)
If it doesn't pull away, add another 15 minutes and check again. Larger pieces of meat will take longer. The longer you cook this the more tender it will get (do not allow to get beyond 185 F before resting though or it will become dry)
Leave the beef under the foil for another 10-15 minutes once removed to rest before slicing.
