COOKING METHOD:
1. Start by removing the meat from the bone and cutting it into chunks.
2. In a large dutch oven, heat olive oil over high heat and brown each piece of meat on all sides. Season with a pinch of salt. Once browned on all sides, remove from the pot and place to the side, and season with fresh cracked pepper.
3. Cut the slab bacon into chunks and fry until browned. Once browned, remove and place to the side.
4. To a large pot over medium-high heat, add enough olive oil to coat the bottom and tomato paste. Stir together and cook together for a couple of minutes.
5. Carefully add in the brandy letting the alcohol burn off before adding in the red wine.
6. Add the beef and pork back to the brandy/wine mixture. Add enough beef stock to cover the meat along with a bay leaf. Stir to incorporate.
7. Add the pot of beef to a 350F preheated oven for 1 hour.
8. For the mashed potatoes, boil some water in a large pot. Peel and halve the potatoes before adding them to the boiling water with a heavy pinch of salt. Once fork tender, drain the potatoes. Mash together and season with salt. Add in butter and vigorously mash together until a fluffy consistency is reached.
9. Once removed from the oven, add in cremini mushrooms, peeled pearled onions, peeled and chopped carrots, and a tied bundle of fresh thyme, sage, and parsley. Mix together and place back into the oven for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tinder.

*RECIPE*
▪3-5lb/1.5-2kg Beef chuck roast
▪225g (5 large) Shallot or onion, chunky diced
▪225g (3 large) Carrots, cut into obliques
▪225g (4-6 stalks) Celery, cut into 1-2”/3-5cm pieces
▪20g (4-5 cloves) Garlic, minced
▪Neutral, high smokepoint oil (canola, vegetable, soy, avocado)
▪50g (3 1/2T) unsalted butter
▪25g (1 1/2 tomato paste
▪25g (3T) flour (all purpose or gluten free flour blend. I used bob’s red mill 1 to 1)
▪150g (2/3c) red wine
▪25g (1 1/2T) worcestershire
▪15g (1T) better than bouillon beef base
▪750g (3c) beef stock
▪2 bay leaves
▪3-4 springs fresh thyme
Liberally salt all sides of the chuck roast and allow it to sit at room temp for 20 minutes.
While the beef brines, prep the veggies. Cut shallot into a chunky dice. Cut celery into 1-2”/3-5cm long planks. Cut carrots into obliques (see video @1:26) or a large chunky dice. Mince garlic.
Before searing, dry beef very well on all sides with a towel.
Preheat a dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add a long squeeze of neutral oil. Drop in salted roast and press the meat down into the pan. Sear for 6-7 minutes until a brown crust has formed. Flip and sear on the second side for 5-6min. Transfer to a plate.
Return the pot to medium heat and add 50g of butter, followed by veggies, garlic, and a large pinch of salt. Stir and cook to caramelize and slightly soften for about 3 min. Add tomato paste. Stir and saute for about 2 minutes until it has taken on a darker rusty color. Stir in flour for 30-60 sec.
Add in wine, worcestershire and stir to deglaze solids on the bottom of the pot. When slightly thickened, add better than bouillon and stock. Bring to a simmer. When simmering, snuggle the seared beef into the pot so that it’s touching the bottom of the pot. Add bay and thyme.
Add a probe thermometer if you have one, set the temp to 195F/90C. cover the pot leaving the lid slightly ajar, and load into a 275F/135C oven to cook for 4-5 hours. Checking on the beef in about 2 hours when the temp hits 195F. Check the meat at this point. It shouldn’t be shreddable yet. Return the lid to the pot, and return the pot to the oven to cook for about 2-3 more hours, checking the roast gain at the 4-4.5 hour mark. You’re now looking to maintain the temperature of about 190-205F/90C for a few more hours until the meat is fork tender and shreddable, but does not totally fall apart. If internal temp rises above this temp, turn down the oven to maintain 190-205F/90C. When done, you'll be able to easily pull the meat apart with forks. Taste sauce for seasoning and add salt if needed.
Allow beef to rest in the cooking liquids for about 30 minutes while you finish your potatoes.
Serve a chunk of beef on top of baked bashed potatoes along with a few of the roasted veggies and extra sauce.
