Method
Prepare the Pot Roast
- 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.
- Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside temporarily.
Sauté Vegetables
- 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
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Braise Roast
- 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.
- Allow the roast to rest for 10 minutes before shredding.
Make Parmesan Risotto
- 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.
- Stir in Arborio rice and toast for 2–3 minutes.
Cook Risotto
- Gradually add hot chicken broth one cup at a time, stirring frequently for about 20–25 minutes.
Finish Risotto
- Once creamy, stir in grated Parmesan cheese and butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
- Plate a generous serving of shredded pot roast over a bed of creamy Parmesan risotto, spooning sauce over the top.
