Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 lb boneless beef chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 ½ cups Arborio rice
  • 6 cups hot chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Season the roast generously with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the roast on all sides for about 3–5 minutes.
  2. Remove the roast and sauté onion, carrots, celery, and garlic in the same pot for about 5–7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, beef broth, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Return the roast to the pot.
  4. Cover tightly and cook in the oven for 2½–3 hours until tender.
  5. Shred the roast into bite-sized pieces after resting for about 10 minutes.
  6. For risotto, in another saucepan over medium heat, warm olive oil and sauté shallots until softened. Add Arborio rice and toast for an additional 2–3 minutes.
  7. Gradually add hot chicken broth one cup at a time while stirring constantly until absorbed; this should take about 20–25 minutes.
  8. Stir in Parmesan cheese and butter into the risotto before serving.
