Ingredients

For the Roast

3 pounds Beef Chuck Roast Substitute with brisket if needed.
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Black Pepper

For the Glaze

2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 medium Yellow Onion Chopped.
3 cloves Garlic Minced.
2 cups Beef Broth
0.5 cup Balsamic Vinegar
0.25 cup Brown Sugar

For the Finishing Touch

1 cup Whole Cranberries Fresh or frozen.
3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
2 medium Carrots Optional, sliced.

Equipment

Dutch oven

Method

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven and sear the beef roast on all sides for 3-4 minutes until deep brown.
Sauté chopped yellow onion for about 5 minutes until soft, then add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Deglaze the pot with balsamic vinegar, scraping up browned bits from the bottom.
Stir in beef broth and brown sugar, then return the seared beef to the pot with cranberries and thyme.
Cover and braise in the oven at 325°F for 3 to 3.5 hours or until fork-tender.
Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing, and serve with the glaze.
