Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3-pound) boneless beef chuck roast
10 cloves garlic, peeled and halved lengthwise
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup peeled and chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
Red wine (optional)

Steps:

  • Using the tip of a sharp paring knife, make 20 small evenly spaced slits about 1 1/2 inches deep all over the pot roast. Using your fingers, insert the garlic cloves as deep into the slits as possible. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a Dutch-oven, heat oil over high heat. Carefully add meat and sear on all sides until very well browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Add onion, carrots, celery, and 2/3 cup water. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low; cook until roast is very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours, turning 2 to 3 times. Add more water or wine, if desired, as needed so that there is always a little liquid in bottom of Dutch-oven. If done in the oven, the temperature should be 300 degrees, and the roast should cook for 3 to 3 1/2 hours until tender.
  • Transfer meat to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Slice meat and serve drizzled with pan juices.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or bottom round roast are good choices for this recipe, as they are both relatively inexpensive and have a good amount of marbling, which will help keep the beef moist during cooking.
  • Brown the beef before braising: Browning the beef before braising helps to develop flavor and add color to the finished dish.
  • Use a variety of garlic: This recipe calls for both fresh and roasted garlic, which gives it a complex and flavorful garlic taste. If you don't have roasted garlic on hand, you can roast your own by wrapping a whole head of garlic in foil and baking it at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden brown.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When braising the beef, make sure that the pot is large enough to accommodate the beef and the vegetables without overcrowding. If the pot is too crowded, the beef will not cook evenly and the vegetables will not have room to soften.
  • Cook the beef until it is fall-apart tender: The beef should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender, which will take about 2-3 hours on low heat. You can check the beef for doneness by inserting a fork into the meat; if the fork goes in easily, the beef is done.

Conclusion:

This garlic lovers beef recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The beef is braised in a flavorful garlic sauce, and the result is a tender and juicy dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
