Ingredients

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 160°C / 325°F. Salt the roast and sear it hard in the oil on all sides.

  2. Remove the beef, brown the onions and garlic 5 minutes, and stir in the tomato paste.

  3. Deglaze with the wine, reduce by half, then add the stock, thyme, and bay.

  4. Return the roast, cover, and cook 3 hours.

  5. Add the carrots and potatoes and cook 45 minutes more until everything is tender.

  6. Rest 15 minutes, then pull the beef apart and spoon over the pan juices.

If it resists the fork, it needs more time, not more heat.

Food safety Braise until fork-tender, around 90°C / 195°F internal.
