1. Preparing the Roast:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Remove the chuck roast from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
2. Seasoning the Roast:
- In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful rub.
- Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire surface of the chuck roast, ensuring it’s well coated on all sides.
