A tender and flavorful braised beef dish cooked low and slow until the meat falls apart, ideal for family meals or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 chuck roast (approximately 450 to 900 g)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 240 to 360 ml beef broth
  • 120 ml red wine (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the meat: Pat dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the roast: Heat oil in a skillet until shimmering, then sear the meat for 4 to 6 minutes per side.
  3. Build the base: Add chopped vegetables to the slow cooker, then pour in the beef broth and optional red wine.
  4. Cook low and slow: Place the seared roast on top, cover, and cook for 6 to 8 hours on low.
  5. Rest and finish: Remove the roast, skim fat, and reduce the cooking liquid on the stovetop if needed before serving.

Notes

For a glossy gravy, cool the sauce, skim fat, and whisk in 15 g cornstarch mixed with 30 ml cold water, then simmer until thickened.
