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
- Chop onions and garlic, and gather fresh herbs.
- Heat a heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper, and sear on all sides until browned.
- 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.
- 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).
- Roast for about 180-240 minutes until tender.
- Let the roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Ensure the beef is submerged in the glaze and check liquid levels during cooking.
