Prep Time

This recipe requires minimal prep time. All you need to do is gather the ingredients and prepare the beef for cooking. This should take about 10 minutes. You will also need to allow time for the beef to marinade in the sauce overnight.

Cook Time

This recipe takes about 8 hours to cook in a crock pot. The beef should be cooked on low heat for 7 hours, then on high heat for 1 hour. This will ensure that the beef is cooked thoroughly and that the sauce has a chance to reduce and thicken.

Ingredients

2 lbs beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into cubes
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup red wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the beef broth, red wine, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar. Place the cubed beef in the mixture and stir to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.

2. The next day, add the onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary and black pepper to the crock pot. Stir in the marinated beef and pour the remaining marinade over the top of the beef. Cover and cook on low heat for 7 hours.

3. After 7 hours, turn the heat up to high and cook for an additional hour. This will allow the sauce to reduce and thicken.

4. In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and cold water to form a slurry. Add the slurry to the crock pot and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 15 minutes.

5. Serve the braised beef over mashed potatoes or rice. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

This recipe can be prepared in the oven as well. Simply preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and place the beef and marinade in a baking dish. Cover the dish and bake for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender. This recipe can also be prepared in a slow cooker. Simply follow the same instructions as above, but adjust the cooking time to 8-10 hours on low heat.

The sauce can be adjusted to your liking. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, add more brown sugar. If you prefer a spicier sauce, add more black pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes. To make the sauce thicker, mix together an additional tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and add it to the crock pot.
