4 pounds chuck roast, or more to taste
3 shallots, sliced 1/4-inch thick
6 tablespoons chopped garlic
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cups water
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
6 carrots, or more to taste, cut into thirds
8 stalks celery, cut into thirds
1 1/2 pounds baby red potatoes, halved
3 tablespoons rosemary
2 tablespoons olive oil

1
Cut 1/2-inch incisions into the meaty parts of the roast; stuff with shallots and garlic. Season roast with salt and pepper; top with thyme sprigs.
2
Center roast in a large roasting pan. Pour in water and beef broth. Spread carrots and celery around the roast. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
3
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
4
Place potatoes in a large bowl; cover with water. Let soak, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Add rosemary and olive oil; toss to coat. Spread potatoes around the roast.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are very tender, about 3 hours.
