Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 lbs chuck roast
  • salt, to taste
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, separated
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp thyme
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Remove chuck roast from the refrigerator and sprinkle with salt all over. Leave at room temperature for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Mix together 2 tbsp of olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes, and brush the mixture onto the chuck roast.
  • Preheat a cast-iron skillet to medium-high with the remaining olive oil. Sear the roast on all sides; this should take about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the roast to a roasting pan.
  • In the same skillet, saute onions for about 5-6 minutes until they become tender. Add in the garlic and saute for another minute until fragrant. Pour the onions and garlic over the roast.
  • Loosely cover the roast with foil or a roasting pan lid. Roast for 2-3 hours, or until the inside of the roast reaches 125 degrees for a medium-rare cook.
  • Let the roast rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
