Method
 

Prepare the Pot Roast
  1. Season the 3–4 lb boneless beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3–5 minutes on each side until browned and caramelized.
  2. Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside temporarily.
Sauté Vegetables
  1. In the same pot, add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5–7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Braise Roast
  1. Return the seared roast to the pot, cover with a lid, and transfer to a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 2½ to 3 hours.
  2. Allow the roast to rest for 10 minutes before shredding.
Make Parmesan Risotto
  1. In a separate saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallot and sauté for 3–5 minutes until translucent.
  2. Stir in Arborio rice and toast for 2–3 minutes.
Cook Risotto
  1. Gradually add hot chicken broth one cup at a time, stirring frequently for about 20–25 minutes.
Finish Risotto
  1. Once creamy, stir in grated Parmesan cheese and butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
