Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in large Dutch oven. Pat dry the pieces of chuck roast and season with salt and pepper. Brown meat on all sides in the oil, then transfer to a plate. Next add the pancetta to Dutch oven and lightly brown. Add the garlic, onions, carrots, and mushrooms; stir to combine. Cook until onions are translucent. Place the meat back into Dutch oven. Then add the red wine and cook for several minutes, reduce the liquid by half while stirring occasionally. Add the thyme, bay leaves, basil, tomatoes, tomato paste and stock. Bring to a boil and then cover. Place Dutch oven in the oven and cook about 2 & 1/2 to 3 hours or until meat is fork tender. Remove from oven and garnish with parsley.
