  • 1 Chef's knife
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 Measuring spoons set
  • 1 Tongs
  • 1 large spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pound beef chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cup apple cider
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 3 clove garlic minced
  • 2 sprig fresh thyme
  • 4 carrots peeled and sliced
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).

  • Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper.
  • Brown the beef on all sides in the Dutch oven, then remove it.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the Dutch oven and sauté until softened.
  • Pour in the apple cider and beef broth, stirring to deglaze the pot.
  • Return the beef to the Dutch oven and add the thyme sprigs.
  • Cover and transfer the Dutch oven to the preheated oven.
  • Roast for 2.5 hours, or until the meat is tender.
  • Place the carrot slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast the carrots alongside the beef for the final 45 minutes.
  • Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and let the beef rest for 10 minutes.
  • Stir apple cider vinegar into the cooking liquid and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Slice the beef and serve with the roasted carrots and sauce.

Notes

For best results, ensure the beef is adequately seared to lock in flavor before braising. Allowing the beef to rest after cooking helps redistribute juices throughout the meat, enhancing its tenderness. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can reduce it further on the stovetop after removing the beef.
