Preparation

Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F (171°C)).
Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.

Cooking

Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 2-3 mins per side.
Remove the beef and set aside.
In the same pot, add onion and garlic, sauté until the onion softens.
Pour in the beef stock and bring to a simmer.
Return the beef to the pot, add thyme sprigs, cover, and transfer to the oven.
Braise for 1.5 hrs, then add carrots around the beef.
Continue cooking for another 1.5 hrs until the beef is tender.

Plating & Serving

Transfer the beef and vegetables to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
Discard thyme sprigs.
Reserve 750ml of the cooking liquid for the gravy.

Notes

To make the gravy, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 45 seconds. Gradually add the reserved cooking liquid, whisking until smooth and thickened. Serve the roast and vegetables with the gravy.
