Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large, heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add more olive oil if needed, then sauté onions, carrots, and garlic for 5-7 minutes until soft.
  3. Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping brown bits, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in beef broth, diced tomatoes, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Return the roast to the pot, cover, and cook on low for 4-6 hours until fork-tender.
  6. In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add Arborio rice and toast for 2 minutes, stirring until edges are translucent.
  8. Gradually add warm chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously for about 20 minutes until creamy.
  9. Off the heat, stir in butter, Parmesan, and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Serve sliced pot roast over a scoop of risotto, drizzling with cooking juices.
