Main Dish Preparation

  1. 1

    Searing the Beef

    In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sautéing Vegetables

    Remove the beef from the pot and add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Adding Garlic and Herbs

    Add minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the pot. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Cooking with Wine

    Return the beef to the pot, pour in the Barolo wine, and bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce heat to low, cooking for about 2-2.5 hours or until the beef is tender.
