Description

This comforting recipe features a fork‑tender pot roast in tomato-herb sauce served over creamy Parmesan risotto. A perfect elegant yet easy dinner for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 lb boneless beef chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 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
  • 1½ cups Arborio rice
  • 6 cups hot chicken broth, divided
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.

2. Season beef chuck roast with salt and pepper.

3. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil and sear roast on all sides. Remove and set aside.

4. In the same pot, sauté onion, carrots, and celery until soft, about 5 minutes.

5. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

6. Stir in crushed tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

7. Return the roast to the pot, cover, and transfer to oven.

8. Bake for 2½ to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender. Shred meat and keep warm in the sauce.

9. To make the risotto, heat olive oil in a saucepan and sauté shallot until soft.

10. Add Arborio rice and toast for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly.

11. Add hot chicken broth one cup at a time, stirring frequently until each addition is absorbed, about 20–25 minutes.

12. Once creamy and tender, stir in Parmesan cheese and butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

13. Serve shredded pot roast over creamy Parmesan risotto.


Notes

Use dried herbs or triple the quantity if using fresh for stronger flavor.

You can make the risotto in the same pot after the roast—just clean it first.

The roast freezes well for future meals; the risotto is best served fresh.
