Step-by-Step Instructions for Italian Pot Roast & Parmesan Risotto
- Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the beef chuck roast for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add more olive oil if needed and sauté chopped onions, diced carrots, and minced garlic for 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Pour in the dry red wine and deglaze the pot. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in beef broth, diced tomatoes, and fresh herbs. Add bay leaves and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Return the seared roast to the pot, cover, and reduce heat. Cook for 4-6 hours until tender.
- In a separate saucepan, heat olive oil. Sauté chopped onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Add Arborio rice and toast for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until absorbed. Cook for about 20 minutes until creamy.
- Stir in butter, Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the pot roast and serve over risotto with pot roast juices drizzled on top.
