Description
A comforting and hearty Italian Beef Pot Roast, slow-cooked to perfection with rich flavors and tender beef.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lbs beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a large oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef roast with salt and pepper, then sear it in the pot until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Remove the roast and set it aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.
- Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom for added flavor.
- Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce to the pot. Stir well to combine everything.
- Return the roast to the pot, cover it, and place it in the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Remove the pot from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.
Notes
Searing the beef is crucial for flavor. This dish tastes better the next day, making it ideal for meal prep.
