Ingredients

Scale

Meat & Protein

  • 3 to 4 lbs Chuck Roast

Aromatics & Vegetables

  • 4 to 6 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • ½ cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, chopped

Liquids & Dairy

  • 1½ cups Chicken Broth
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated

Seasonings & Others

  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Beef: Start by seasoning the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until it’s beautifully browned, locking in the juices and developing a rich, caramelized flavor.
  2. Assembling the Ingredients: Place the seared beef into a baking dish or Dutch oven. Scatter the minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes around the meat, then sprinkle the Italian seasoning evenly over everything. Pour the chicken broth and heavy cream over the roast, ensuring the roast is partially submerged in the liquid.
  3. Slow Cooking to Perfection: Cover the dish tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Transfer it to a preheated oven at 275°F (135°C) and slow cook for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is incredibly tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  4. Finishing Touches: Remove the roast from the oven and transfer the meat to a serving platter. Stir the sauce in the baking dish, mixing in the grated Parmesan cheese to create a silky, flavorful gravy. Spoon this luscious sauce generously over the sliced meat before serving.

Notes

  • Use well-marbled chuck roast for the best tenderness and flavor.
  • Don’t skip searing to develop depth and color in the meat.
  • Cook at low temperature over a longer time for juicy, tender results.
  • Let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
  • Add a splash of broth or cream if the sauce becomes too thick during cooking.
