Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 Large onions, sliced
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Low sodium beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.
Season the beef chuck roast with black pepper, dried thyme, and rosemary on all sides.
Sear the beef in the hot oil until it's browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add the sliced onions and garlic, and sauté until the onions are caramelized and soft, about 8-10 minutes.
Deglaze the pot by adding the apple cider vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
Return the beef to the pot with the onions. Pour the low sodium beef broth over the beef.
Cover the pot with a lid and place it in the preheated oven.
Roast for approximately 3 to 4 hours or until the beef is fully cooked and tender enough to shred easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the pot and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded beef to the pot, mixing it with the onions and cooking juices.
Serve warm. Enjoy as a filling for sandwiches, tacos, or on top of rice.
