Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 12 fluid ounces Coca-Cola
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 large onion
- 4 large carrots
- 4 medium potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
Preheat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat up.
Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and smoked paprika.
Sear the roast in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove the roast and set aside.
Peel and slice the onion into thick wedges. Mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Pour in the Coca-Cola and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits.
Return the roast to the pot, ensuring it is partially submerged in the liquid.
Peel and chop the carrots into large chunks. Wash and quarter the potatoes. Arrange them around the roast in the pot.
Cover the pot with a lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
Check the pot occasionally to ensure there is enough liquid; add more beef broth or water if needed.
Once done, remove the roast from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the roast with the cooked carrots, potatoes, and a spoonful of the rich Coca-Cola-infused sauce from the pot.
