Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs beef chuck roast
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 2 medium yellow onions, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes per side).
- Remove the roast from the pot and set aside. Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot; sauté until softened (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in rosemary and thyme.
- Deglaze the pot with beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add cranberries and return the seared roast to the pot.
- Cover and braise in the oven for about 3-4 hours or until fork-tender.
- Once cooked, remove the roast from the pot, slice against the grain, and drizzle with cranberry glaze before serving.
