Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and chop the onion and carrots. Mince the garlic. Peel and dice the sweet potato and regular potatoes.
- Trim and cut the broccoli into florets and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Pat the beef dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Sear the beef for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the vegetables have started to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the vinegar, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Pour in the beef broth and add the fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer.
- Return the seared beef to the skillet, nestling it into the vegetables and broth mixture.
- Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
- Braise for about 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreddable.
- While the beef braises, spread the diced sweet potatoes, diced regular potatoes, and broccoli florets on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the broccoli is roasted and slightly crispy.
- When the beef is fully braised, remove it from the oven.
- Serve the tender braised beef with the roasted sweet potatoes, potatoes, and broccoli on the side.
- Optionally, garnish with additional fresh thyme leaves and a drizzle of the braising liquid to enhance the flavors.
- Enjoy your delicious Braised Beef with Roasted Potatoes and Broccoli!
