Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Beef

    In a large bowl, combine the red wine, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef chuck roast and ensure it's well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the beef is marinating, chop the carrots, quarter the onions, and dice the potatoes. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Beef

    Remove the beef from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. In a large pot, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Add the carrots and potatoes, cooking for another 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the seared beef to the pot with the vegetables. Pour in the beef broth, add the bay leaves, and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 6

    Slow Cook

    Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Allow to cook for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
