1. Cut each Chuck Roast into six pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and butter in large skillet on medium-high heat.
2. Add roast, cooking until browned on each side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. Place carrots in skillet and cook for five minutes. Add onion and garlic. Cook until onion is tender.
4. Return Chuck Roast to skillet and add red wine. Stir well. Add beef stock and tomatoes, then simmer on low heat for about three hours, or until tender. Once finished, remove Chuck Roast, allowing leftover liquid to cook into a glaze.
