Instructions

Prep the Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 300°F. Cut the onions, carrots, celery, parsnips, and mushrooms into pieces about 2 inches in size.
Sauté the Onions & Garlic: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until deep golden. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute, until fragrant. Transfer the onion-garlic mixture to a bowl and set aside.
Season & Sear the Beef: Pat the beef dry. Sprinkle generously on all sides with garlic-parsley seasoning and black pepper. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the Dutch oven. Place the beef into the pot and sear on all sides until browned.
Build the Braise: Add the cooked onions and garlic back into the pot around the meat. Add the carrots, celery, parsnips, and mushrooms. Pour in the broth. Add bay leaves and thyme/rosemary if using. Cover with a tight-fitting lid.
Slow-Braise in the Oven: Transfer the Dutch oven to the preheated oven. Cook for 3 hours, or until the beef is extremely tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.
Serve: Remove bay leaves and herb stems if using. Serve the tender beef with the vegetables and spoon the flavorful broth over the top.

Notes

This roast pairs well with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
