Description
A tender pot roast served with creamy Parmesan risotto.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lb beef chuck roast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cups Arborio rice
- 6 cups hot chicken broth
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Season the pot roast generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned. Remove roast and set aside.
- Add onion, carrots, and celery to the Dutch oven. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Pour in red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- Return the roast to the pot. Add beef broth, rosemary, and thyme. Bring to a simmer.
- Cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
- Remove roast from the pot and let it rest. Discard herbs. Skim fat from the liquid.
- For the risotto, heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add Arborio rice and toast for 1-2 minutes.
- Add hot chicken broth one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly until absorbed before adding the next. Continue until rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the pot roast and serve with the risotto. Spoon some of the cooking liquid over the roast.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a bay leaf to the pot roast liquid.
- Ensure you stir the risotto frequently to achieve a creamy texture.
