Prepare the Beef: Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set it aside.
Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Combine Ingredients: Return the browned beef to the pot. Stir in soy sauce, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Bring to a boil.
Simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours, until the beef is tender.
Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve over sticky rice or with sides like macaroni salad.
