Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Pat the beef dry with paper towels and season it with salt and pepper.
- Spread the flour on a plate and dredge the beef in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large, oven-proof pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the beef and sear it on all sides until nicely browned. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add another 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Add the chopped onions and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and beginning to brown.
- Add the minced garlic, fresh thyme, and bay leaf, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Return the seared beef to the pot.
- Pour in the red wine, beef broth, and any accumulated juices from the beef. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Cook for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- While the beef is cooking, prepare the salsa verde.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped parsley, spearmint, capers, mustard, and vinegar.
- Gradually whisk in the remaining olive oil (about 1/2 cup) until well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
- Slice or shred the beef and arrange it on a serving platter.
- Drizzle or spoon the salsa verde generously over the top of the beef.
- Serve warm, with the remaining salsa verde on the side.
Tips:
- For the best results, choose a cut of beef such as chuck or brisket, which becomes tender and flavorful when slow-cooked.
- Make sure to sear the beef on all sides before roasting to lock in the juices and enhance the flavor.
- Let the meat rest for a few minutes after cooking before slicing it. This helps retain its juices and makes it easier to cut.
- Use fresh herbs for the salsa verde to achieve the most vibrant and aromatic flavor.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of mustard, vinegar, and capers in the salsa verde according to your taste preference.
- Pair the dish with a full-bodied red wine to complement the robust flavors of the pot-roast beef.
Your pot-roast beef with salsa verde is now ready to be served. The tender beef, infused with rich flavors, paired with the vibrant and tangy salsa verde creates a perfect balance of taste. Enjoy your meal with a side of your favorite vegetables or a simple salad. Bon appétit!
