Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season beef chuck roast with salt and pepper, searing for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove roast and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add onion and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant.
  3. Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping the bottom to lift browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced.
  4. Add beef broth, diced tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Return the roast, cover, and simmer on low heat for about 2 hours.
  5. While the roast is braising, melt butter in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Add Arborio rice, stirring for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Gradually add warm chicken broth to the rice, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly for about 20-30 minutes until creamy.
  7. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
  8. Slice the pot roast and serve alongside the risotto, garnished with fresh parsley.
