  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth

  • 1½ cups Arborio rice
  • 6 cups hot chicken broth, divided
  • ½ cup white grape juice
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Season the beef roast with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the roast until browned on all sides (3-5 minutes per side). Set aside.
  3. In the same pot, sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened (5-7 minutes), then add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  4. Stir in crushed tomatoes, beef broth, apple vinegar, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Return the roast to the pot and cover. Roast in the oven for about 2½–3 hours until tender.
  6. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before shredding with forks.
  7. For risotto, heat olive oil in another saucepan over medium heat and sauté shallots until softened (3-5 minutes). Add Arborio rice and toast for another 2-3 minutes.
  8. Gradually add hot chicken broth one cup at a time while stirring continuously until absorbed (20-25 minutes).
  9. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and butter until melted.
