Ingredients:

• Butter (for basting)
• Fresh rosemary sprigs
• Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
2. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a generous amount of tallow or beef fat to the skillet.
3. Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the chuck roast in the skillet. Sear each side until deeply browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. This step is crucial for developing a flavorful crust on the roast.

5. Place fresh rosemary along with butter on top of the roast, and if desired, add some thyme sprigs for additional flavor.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Cook the chuck roast until it reaches your desired level of doneness. This typically takes about 2-3 hours, depending on the size of the roast and your preferred level of doneness.
7. Periodically baste the roast with the melted butter and tallow from the skillet to keep it moist and flavorful.
