Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lbs chuck roast
- 1 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a heavy-duty roasting pan or Dutch oven.
- Generously season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. In a hot pan with olive oil, sear the roast on all sides until golden brown.
- Remove the roast and set aside. In the same pan, add sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent, about five minutes.
- In a bowl, mix together cranberry sauce, balsamic vinegar, and beef broth. Pour this mixture into the pan with onions and garlic. Stir well.
- Return the chuck roast to the pan, cover tightly with foil or a lid, and braise in the oven for about three hours or until fork-tender.
- Once done, let the roast rest for ten minutes before slicing. Serve each slice topped with the cranberry balsamic glaze.
