Super simple and melt in your mouth braised beef

This is a fantastic meal that you can prepare in advance. In fact, it can even tastes better as a leftover dish! With just three simple ingredients, the results are magical. Could this become a new household favourite?

Ingredients

Serves 6

  • 1 large can whole tomatoes
  • 1 large carrot, sliced
  • 1-1.5 kg boneless beef chuck roast, tied with a string
  • 1 head garlic, separated into cloves, left unpeeled

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 150 degrees C
  2. Coarsely chop tomatoes with their juice in a food processor.
  3. Place roast in a casserole dish with a lid (a tight fit is okay since it will shrink).
  4. Pour tomatoes over roast, carrots, and scatter garlic around it. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
  5. Braise in middle of the oven, covered, until tender (approximately 3 to 4 hours).
  6. Cut roast into thick slices and serve with sauce (garlic squeezed from its peels). We also recommend pairing it with orzo, mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
