Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season your beef chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
  2. Remove the pot roast and add one chopped onion and three minced garlic cloves to the pot, cooking for about 5 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of red wine to deglaze, scraping up browned bits. Then stir in 2 cups of beef broth, one can of diced tomatoes, and a tablespoon of Italian seasoning. Return the roast to the pot, cover, and simmer on low for about 2 hours until fork-tender.
  4. In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 cup of Arborio rice and toast for about 2-3 minutes until slightly translucent.
  5. Gradually add 4 cups of warm beef broth to the rice, about a cup at a time, stirring continuously until absorbed. After 20-30 minutes, the risotto should be creamy and al dente.
  6. Remove the risotto from heat and stir in 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, adjusting seasoning if needed.
  7. To serve, slice the pot roast and plate with creamy risotto. Drizzle with sauce and garnish with parsley.
