Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Peel and chop the onions, carrots, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Sear the Beef

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the beef and sear on all sides until browned. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onions, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent.

  2. 4

    Deglaze the Pot

    Pour in the white wine and stir, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Allow it to simmer for about 3 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add the Beef and Stock

    Return the seared beef to the pot. Add the beef stock and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Serving

  1. 7

    Shred and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the beef from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot, mix well with the sauce and vegetables. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
