This method delivers a “velvety” broth and “steakhouse-quality” tenderness that everyone will crave.
Ingredients
• The Protein: 2 lbs Beef Chuck Roast, cut into professional “wow” 1-inch cubes.
• The Garden Stars: 3 large Carrots (sliced into rounds like your photo), 2 stalks Celery, and 1 cup Pearl Onions.
• The “Magic” Swap: 2 cups Radishes or Turnips (the “secret” low-carb substitute for potatoes that turn “velvety” when simmered!).
• The “Velvety” Base: 4 cups Beef Bone Broth and 1/2 cup Red Wine (optional, for that “unbelievable” depth).
• The Aromatics: 3 cloves Garlic (minced), 2 Bay Leaves, 1 tsp Dried Thyme, and 2 tbsp Tomato Paste (check for no added sugar!).
Preparation Steps
1. The Sear: Pat the beef dry and season with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven (just like your “wow” red one!), sear the beef in batches until it has a professional, “unbelievable” crust.
2. The Sauté: Remove the beef. Add the onions, carrots, and celery to the “magic” drippings. Sauté until the onions are translucent and look “bakery-perfect.”
3. The Infusion: Stir in the tomato paste, garlic, and thyme. Pour in the wine and broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release all those “treasure” flavor bits.
4. The Slow Simmer: Return the beef to the pot and add your “wow” root vegetables. Cover and simmer on low for 2.5 to 3 hours. This long cook time is the “secret” to meat that is “melt-in-your-mouth” tender.
5. The Reveal: Remove the bay leaves. If you want a thicker “velvety” sauce, mash a few of the cooked vegetables into the broth. Serve in a big bowl and feel the “reborn” energy!
