Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 lb Cattlemen's Standard arm or chuck roast trimmed of excess fat
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 4-6 whole carrots sliced
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 2 stalks celery sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Season all sides of your beef roast with salt and pepper. Don't be skimpy here. It's a large piece of meat. In a large cast iron Dutch oven or other heavy pot with a secure lid, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil over moderately high heat. Brown the meat on all sides. Take your time here – you're looking for a nice crust on the outside.
  • Once your roast is browned on all sides, pour in tomatoes and beef stock. Scatter your vegatables and herbs around the roast and give a final seasoning to the pot with salt and pepper.
  • Cover and place your pot in your preheated oven. Braise for about 3 hours, basting every 30-34 minutes with the stock liquid, until the roast is fork tender.
  • Remove from oven and slice or shred your roast (depending on your preference and serving style) on a platter. Surround your roast with the vegatables from the pot and serve with the cooking liquid.
  • We recommend serving this braised roast with mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower. Garnish with a little freshed parsley and a sprinkle of chunky kosher salt.
