Dutch Oven Chuck Roast is a delicious meal for any occasion. No matter the occasion, this Chuck Roast is sure to please a crowd.

This post is a collaboration with Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner. on behalf of the Beef Checkoff. I received compensation, but all opinions are my own.

I know this holiday season is shaping up differently than we all planned. Our normal holiday parties and family celebrations might be smaller than normal, but they can still be special. This recipe is perfect for a small, cozy gathering! Chuck Roast is a budget-friendly cut that will give you some great leftovers to use the next day if you only have a few eating with you this year. Starting your holiday off with a delicious, high-quality protein is always a good choice!

What is Chuck Roast?

Chuck roast is a cut of roast that comes from the shoulder area. It is ideal for slow roasting.

You’ll adore Fall-Apart Dutch Oven Pot Roast

Chuck Roast is by far my favorite cut of roast. It has a great balance of fat in the meat that creates a flavorful and fork-tender end product. Chuck Roast can be dressed up or dressed down for any occasion. I made this recipe specifically for a holiday table – you’ll love it!

Even though it has a long cook time, the hands-on time is minimal. The oven temperature for Chuck Roast needs to be low. The low oven temperature lets the fat render out of the meat and meat proteins break down slowly. That is the key for getting a fall apart roast!

I included carrots in this recipe because they turn out perfectly when cooked with a roast. I omitted potatoes because I don’t like how mealy they turn when cooked for so long in liquid. Instead, I love to serve this Chuck Roast with mashed potatoes. You can make them ahead of time, so all your holiday meal prep is done early!

This Chuck Roast recipe will take all the stress out of planning a special dinner for the ones you love.

Chuck Roast Recipe for Gravy

The liquid that is left in the Dutch oven after the Chuck Roast cooks makes a delicious, light gravy. If you want to thicken it, you can take 2 cups out of the Dutch oven and pour it into a small saucepan.

Skim the fat off of the top and whisk in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Heat the mixture over medium heat until thickened.

You can store Dutch Oven Roast in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also store Dutch Oven Roast in the freezer for up to 6 months.
