Ingredients
Scale
3–4 pounds beef chuck roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 carrots, cut into chunks
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 cup beef broth
1 cup red wine (or substitute with extra beef broth for a non-alcoholic version)
2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (oregano, thyme, basil)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup Arborio rice
4 cups chicken broth (warm)
1 cup white wine (or additional broth)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season your beef chuck roast with salt and pepper. Once hot, sear the roast on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side until it has a golden-brown crust.
Prepare Veggies: Add the chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are beginning to soften and your kitchen is filled with mouthwatering aromas.
Slow Cook: Transfer the seared meat and vegetable mixture to a slow cooker. Add diced tomatoes, beef broth, red wine, and dried herbs. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the meat is fork-tender.
Sauté Aromatics for Risotto: In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Toast the Rice: Add Arborio rice to the pan and stir for about 2 minutes until the rice is slightly toasted and coated with butter.
Add Broth Gradually: Pour in the white wine (or additional broth) and stir until absorbed. Add warm chicken broth one ladle at a time, waiting until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding the next ladle. This process usually takes about 18-20 minutes.
Finish with Cheese: Once the rice is creamy and al dente, remove it from the heat. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
