Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large, diced onion
- 4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 cup beef broth
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Madeira wine
- 1 whole bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season evenly with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the beef to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the beef broth, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, Madeira wine, bay leaf, and thyme to the skillet. Stir well to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Pour the sauce mixture over the beef in the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the crock pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
Optional: If the sauce is too thin, transfer it to a medium saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes to thicken. Taste and adjust seasoning with remaining salt, if needed.
Serve the beef with the tomato Madeira sauce poured over it, garnished with fresh parsley.
