Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 pounds pork shoulder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 4 medium carrots, cut into chunks
- 3 stalks celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 leaves bay leaves
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast and pork shoulder on all sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef and pork on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove both meats and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes to caramelize slightly.
Deglaze the pot by adding the red wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Return the beef and pork to the pot. Pour in the beef broth until the meat is mostly submerged.
Add the thyme sprigs and bay leaves to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C).
Cook the roast in the oven for 2 hours, turning the meats halfway through to ensure even cooking.
After 2 hours, add the potatoes to the pot, tucking them around the meat. Continue cooking for an additional 1.5-2 hours, or until the meats are fork-tender and the potatoes are soft.
Remove the pot from the oven and discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves.
Shred or slice the meats as desired and serve with the vegetables and a generous drizzle of the cooking liquid.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and enjoy!
