Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the garlic cloves and sauté until lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze, allowing the wine to reduce slightly for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the beef broth, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and fresh rosemary. Stir to combine.
- Return the chuck roast to the pot, making sure it is submerged in the liquid. Cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- While the roast is cooking, prepare the golden beet gravy. In a medium saucepan, add the chopped beets and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Once the roast is done, remove it from the oven and place the meat on a cutting board to rest.
- Strain the braising liquid into a blender and add the cooked beets, thyme, parsley, and butter. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Slice the roast and serve it with the smooth golden beet and herb gravy drizzled over the top.
Notes
For a variation, try adding root vegetables like carrots and potatoes during the braising process for added flavor and texture.
