  • Total Time: 3 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: Serves approximately 6 people 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs beef chuck roast or bottom round
  • 3 cups dry red apple vinegar
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • Fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef dry and season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a heavy Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned (8-10 minutes). Remove from pot.
  3. Sauté onions, carrots, and garlic until softened (about 5 minutes).
  4. Deglaze with red apple vinegar, scraping up browned bits; simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Return the seared beef to the pot, add broth and herbs so liquid covers about one-third of the meat.
  6. Cover tightly and braise in a preheated oven at 285°F (140°C) for 2.5 to 3 hours until fork-tender.
  7. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
