Stracotto: Italian-Style Pot Roast

ADVERTISEMENT

Heat olive oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Brown the beef roast on all sides until deeply caramelized, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, and carrots. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.

Return the beef roast to the pot and add enough water or beef broth to cover halfway.

Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook slowly for 3-4 hours until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
