This zgvacet recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The meat is fall-apart tender and the sauce is amazing. I served it with egg noodles and a side of roasted vegetables, and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

This zgvacet recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef chuck roast. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time. I like to make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week.
