Pat 3-4 pounds chuck roast very dry with paper towels, then generously season all sides of it with salt and ground black pepper.
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato oil. Add the roast and sear on each side for 3-4 minutes, until a deep crust has formed. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium, then add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to the pot. Once melted, add 2 teaspoons minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until very fragrant. Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
Slowly whisk in 2 cups beef broth until smooth and fully combined.
Add 3 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ½ teaspoon paprika, and whisk to combine. Stir in ¾ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes.
Return the roast to the pot. Cover and cook in the oven for 3.5-5 hours, or until the meat is very tender and easily shredded. Remove the meat to a plate, cover with aluminum foil, and set aside. Discard any excess fat that may have accumulated in the pot.
Combine ¾ cup heavy cream and ½ cup grated parmesan cheese in a small bowl. Slowly whisk into the sauce in the Dutch oven. Return the meat to the pot, shred, and serve garnished with fresh basil.
