Ingredients
Scale
- 3-4 pounds chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¾ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, julienne cut
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- fresh basil for garnish
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels, then season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the sun-dried tomato oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on each side for 3-4 minutes until a deep crust forms. Remove the roast and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the pot. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Whisk in the all-purpose flour until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth until fully combined and smooth.
- Add the tomato paste, Italian seasoning, paprika, and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir until well mixed.
- Return the roast to the pot, cover, and cook in the oven for 3.5-5 hours until the meat is tender and can be easily shredded. Remove the roast, cover with foil, and set aside. Discard any excess fat in the pot.
- In a separate bowl, combine the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, then whisk into the sauce in the Dutch oven. Shred the roast and mix it back into the sauce; serve garnished with fresh basil.
