Why You’ll Love Oven Braised Chuck Roast
I love making braised meats in the oven because you get that fall apart meat without it being mushy like it can get in the crockpot sometimes. This recipe has beef chuck roast is oven braised for hours is red wine with vegetables soaking up all those flavors. The potatoes are so flavorful with the herbs and creamy because of the labneh. The gravy that braised for hours is then turned into the most amazing gravy. It’s everything you could want in a dish!

Substitutions
- If you would like to substitute the chuck roast for short ribs, the seasoning and flavors are still amazing but you may need to adjust cooking times.
- I you already have a mashed potato recipe you like, you can still make the meat and gravy and just top your favorite potatoes.
🔥Chef Nadia’s Tip🔥
I recommend using a dutch oven for this oven braised chuck roast recipe because the tight fitting lid helps retain the moisture and it distributes the heat evenly.
