Ingredients
Scale
3–4 lbs of beef chuck roast
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 medium carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, chopped
4 cups of beef broth
1 cup of red wine (optional)
2 bay leaves
1 cup of grated parmesan cheese
1 cup of arborio rice
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef – Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and black pepper. Sear the beef on all sides until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes each side.
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics – Remove the beef from the pot. In the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté until the vegetables begin to soften, around 5-7 minutes.
Step 3: Deglaze and Build Flavor – If using red wine, pour it into the pot to deglaze. Allow it to simmer for 2 minutes before adding the beef broth and bay leaves.
Step 4: Slow Cook the Roast – Add the seared beef back into the pot, cover, and allow it to cook slowly for about 5 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
Step 5: Prepare the Risotto – With 30-45 minutes remaining on your pot roast, heat 4 cups of broth to a gentle simmer. In another pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and toast the arborio rice for about 2 minutes.
Step 6: Stir and Cook – Add the warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring continuously, until the rice is al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
Step 7: Add the Cheese – Stir in 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese until melted.
Step 8: Serve – Shred or slice the pot roast and serve alongside the risotto garnished with fresh parsley.
