  • 1 large onion (chopped)
  • 2 carrots (chopped)
  • 2 stalks celery (chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes (1 can)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for pot roast)
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (for pot roast)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for risotto)

  • 1.5 cups Arborio rice
  • 6 cups chicken broth (hot, divided)
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Instructions

  1. Season the roast generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the roast in a Dutch oven with olive oil over medium-high heat, about 3-5 minutes per side.
  3. Sauté the chopped onion, carrots, and celery in the same pot for 5-7 minutes; add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Create the sauce by stirring in crushed tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper; simmer gently.
  5. Nestle the seared roast back into the sauce, cover, and braise in a preheated 325°F oven for 2.5 to 3 hours.
  6. Shred the roast after resting for 10 minutes, and return it to the sauce.
  7. Start the risotto by cooking shallot in olive oil over medium heat until softened.
  8. Toast the Arborio rice for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden, stirring constantly.
  9. Add hot chicken broth gradually, stirring frequently for 20-25 minutes until creamy and al dente.
  10. Finish the risotto by stirring in Parmesan cheese and butter, seasoning to taste.
  11. Serve the shredded pot roast over creamy risotto, drizzled with tomato-herb sauce.
