Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast generously 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 diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
- Return the chuck roast to the pot. Add the honey, balsamic vinegar, garlic cloves, fresh sage, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- While the roast is braising, prepare the celeriac and potato gravy. In a medium saucepan, add the diced celeriac and potatoes. Cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the celeriac and potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the heavy cream and butter, then mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the roast is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced roast with the velvety celeriac and potato gravy on the side. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For a twist, try adding root vegetables like parsnips or turnips to the roast for added flavor.
