Description

A comforting and flavorful slow-braised beef roast enveloped in a sweet-tart cranberry balsamic glaze, perfect for family gatherings and cozy dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 beef roast (chuck or brisket)
  • 1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar (aged)
  • 2 onions (yellow or sweet, sliced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 1 cup red wine (dry)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Chop onions and garlic, and gather fresh herbs.
  2. Heat a heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper, and sear on all sides until browned.
  3. In the same pot, lower the heat and add onions, cooking until golden brown. Stir in garlic, cranberries, balsamic vinegar, red wine, and broth. Simmer for a few minutes.
  4. Place the seared beef back in the pot, ensuring it’s submerged in the glaze. Cover tightly and transfer to a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C).
  5. Roast for about 180-240 minutes until tender.
  6. Let the roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Ensure the beef is submerged in the glaze and check liquid levels during cooking.
