Classic comfort food with slow-braised beef, caramelized onions, and a glossy gravy, perfect for weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 to 2.0 kg beef chuck roast
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 120 mL red wine or sherry
  • 750 mL beef stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Herbs (thyme, bay leaves, etc.) to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat roast dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat oil to medium-high, brown roast for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
  3. Cook sliced onions low and slow for 30 to 40 minutes until deeply browned.
  4. Add red wine or sherry and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
  5. Return the roast to the pot, add beef stock and herbs, cover, and roast at 150°C for 3 to 4 hours.
  6. Remove roast, let it rest for 15 minutes, then reduce the braising liquid to a glaze.

Notes

Always rest the roast before slicing to preserve the juices and tenderness.
