RECIPE :

Cozy Pot Roast

INGREDIENTS:

• 2-3 lbs chuck roast
• Salt and ground black pepper for seasoning
• 2 Tablespoons avocado or olive oil
• 3 Tablespoons butter divided (you can use salted or unsalted)
• 1 large onion cut into thick wedges
• 1 ½ Tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon table salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ cup red wine vinegar
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 dried bay leaves
• 1 ½ lbs potatoes cut into 1 ½” pieces
• 1 lb carrots cut into 2” sticks (or 1 lb baby carrots)
• Parmesan cheese and parsley for garnish optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160C) and position a rack in the center of the oven, ensuring your covered Dutch oven fits.
2. Pat the meat dry with paper towels, then season it all over with salt and pepper.
3. Heat oil over medium-high heat in the Dutch oven. Once it shimmers, add the beef and sear on all sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Allow the meat to sit undisturbed during searing to achieve a proper sear.
4. Once seared, transfer the meat to a plate. Reduce the stovetop heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the onion and cook until softened.
5. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Stir in basil, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
6. Drizzle in red wine vinegar, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Cook until the vinegar is reduced, and the steam is no longer pungent if sniffed.
7. Add beef broth and stir, then add baby potatoes and carrots. Place bay leaves and nestle them into the liquid. Add the chuck roast over the veggies, including any juices from the plate. Place the remaining butter (1 tablespoon) on top of the roast.
8. Cover with the lid, transfer to the center rack of the oven, and cook for 2½ to 3 hours. Check the roast’s tenderness by piercing or tugging with a fork. If it doesn’t come apart easily, return it to the oven and cook until tender, checking every 20-30 minutes.
9. Once cooked, remove the roast to a plate, shred it, and discard any large pieces of fat. Remove the bay leaf from the pot, then return the shredded meat to the pot. Stir and serve, garnished with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
