Instructions
- Season and sear: Pat the beef roast dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté aromatics: In the same pot, add onions and garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Deglaze the pot: Pour in red wine (if using) and scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add broth and seasonings: Return the roast to the pot. Add beef broth, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.
- Add vegetables: Nestle carrots and potatoes around the roast.
- Cook low and slow: Cover and simmer on low heat for 3–4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Serve: Remove bay leaves. Slice or shred beef and serve alongside the vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Tips & Variations
- Use a slow cooker: Follow the same steps and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Add more veggies: Try parsnips, celery, or mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Make gravy: Use the cooking liquid to make a delicious gravy by thickening it with a cornstarch slurry.
- Make it spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika for a kick.
