Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chop your vegetables (carrots, potatoes, and onions) into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic.
Searing Beef
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once hot, add the beef roast and sear on all sides until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side).
Adding Vegetables
  1. Once the beef is seared, carefully remove it from the pot and set it aside.
  2. Add the chopped onions, carrots, and potatoes to the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Creating Broth
  1. Add the minced garlic, beef broth, salt, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Cooking
  1. Place the seared beef back into the pot, making sure it’s nestled among the vegetables and covered with the broth.
  2. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and let it cook for 3-4 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
  3. If using the oven, preheat it to 325°F (160°C) and roast for about 3 hours.
Serving
  1. Once done, remove the pot from heat. Let it sit for a few minutes before slicing the beef, serving it alongside the veggies and the rich broth.

Notes

Storing: Cool before refrigerating in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on stovetop or oven, adding beef broth to maintain moisture.
