Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 lb boneless beef chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup dry apple vinegar
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 ½ cups Arborio rice
  • 6 cups hot chicken broth, divided
  • ½ cup white grape juice
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Season the beef roast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the roast for about 3–5 minutes on each side until browned. Set aside.
  2. In the same pot, sauté chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic until softened (about 5–7 minutes).
  3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, beef broth, apple vinegar, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and return the roast to the pot.
  4. Cover and slow-cook in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 2½–3 hours until tender.
  5. Shred the cooked beef using two forks and mix it back into its juices.
  6. For the risotto, heat olive oil in a separate saucepan; sauté shallots until soft. Add Arborio rice and toast for 2–3 minutes.
  7. Pour in white grape juice; stir until absorbed. Gradually add hot chicken broth one cup at a time while stirring continuously until creamy (20–25 minutes). Finish with Parmesan cheese and butter.
