Ingredients

Meat

  • 3-4 pounds chuck roast

Marinade

  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • ½ cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For Searing and Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 carrots, chopped
  • 4 potatoes, diced (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well combined to form a flavorful marinade.
  2. Marinate the Chuck Roast: Place the chuck roast in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the meat is thoroughly coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C) and allow it to reach the correct temperature before roasting.
  4. Sear the Roast: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the roast from the marinade (reserve marinade) and sear it on each side for 3-4 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms.
  5. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add sliced onions, chopped carrots, and diced potatoes if using. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened and fragrant.
  6. Assemble for Roasting: Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a roasting pan and place the seared chuck roast on top. Pour the reserved marinade evenly over the meat and vegetables.
  7. Roast the Beef: Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil or a lid. Place it in the preheated oven and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork.
  8. Baste Occasionally: For optimal moisture and flavor, baste the roast with the cooking juices every hour during roasting.
  9. Rest and Serve: After baking, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Slice and garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Marinating overnight enhances flavor and tenderness significantly.
  • Including potatoes is optional but adds heartiness to the dish.
  • Searing the meat before roasting locks in juices and builds flavor.
  • Covering the roast while cooking helps keep it moist and tender.
  • Resting the meat after cooking allows juices to redistribute for better texture.
  • Use fresh herbs if possible for more vibrant taste.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
