Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Brown the roast on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Remove the roast and set it aside.
In the same pot, sauté onions and garlic until translucent.
Add carrots and potatoes, stirring for about 2 minutes.
Return the roast to the pot with vegetables.
Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
Sprinkle thyme over the top and cover the pot with a lid.
Transfer to the preheated oven and cook for 3-4 hours until tender.
Once done, let the roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
