Instructies
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the beef roast with salt and pepper.
Sear the roast on all sides for 5-6 minutes, until browned.
Remove the beef roast and set aside.
Add the sliced onion and garlic to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the beef broth and red wine (if using), scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
Add the thyme and rosemary.
Return the beef roast to the pot, placing it on top of the onions.
Cover the Dutch oven with a lid and place it in the preheated oven.
Roast for 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the beef is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
Remove the roast from the pot and set aside.
For the gravy, place the Dutch oven on the stovetop over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the flour with a little water to make a slurry, then stir it into the liquid in the pot.
Bring the gravy to a simmer, stirring constantly until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 5 minutes.
Slice the roast and serve with the gravy poured over the top.
