For an even richer flavor, consider searing the beef chuck roast the day before and refrigerating it overnight. This allows the flavors to deepen. The sauce can be adjusted to your liking. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, or a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce for added umami. If you don't have a Dutch oven, a large, heavy-bottomed pot will also work well.
