Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius.
  2. Season the beef roast with salt and black pepper.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned.
  4. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add butter and sliced onions. Cook until onions are caramelized.
  5. Add minced garlic to the onions and cook for an additional minute.
  6. Sprinkle flour over the onion mixture and stir well to combine.
  7. Gradually add red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  8. Return the beef roast to the pot. Add beef broth, bay leaves, and thyme.
  9. Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  10. Remove the beef from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  11. Strain the cooking liquid and return it to the pot. Simmer until slightly thickened to make the gravy.
  12. Serve the sliced beef with the onion gravy.
