step by step

Method

  1. Preheat the oven

    • Preheat the oven to 160 °C (320 °F).
    Step 1

  2. Season and sear the beef

    • Pat the beef dry and season generously with salt and black pepper.
    • Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
    • Sear the beef for 4–5 minutes per side until deeply browned, then remove and set aside.
    Step 2

  3. Sauté the aromatics

    • In the same pot, sauté the onion and celery for about 5 minutes.
    • Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
    Step 3

  4. Deglaze and add the liquids

    • Pour in the apple cider, scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
    • Add the beef broth, thyme, rosemary and bay leaves.
    Step 4

  5. Braise the roast

    • Return the beef to the pot; the liquid should cover about ⅔ of the meat.
    • Cover with a lid and transfer to the oven for 3.5–4 hours, until fork-tender.
    • Add the carrots during the last 50 minutes of cooking.
    Step 5

  6. Reduce the sauce

    • Remove the beef and vegetables from the pot.
    • Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan.
    • Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook uncovered for about 15 minutes, until slightly reduced and more concentrated.
    • Let it cool slightly before serving.
    Step 6

  7. Serve

    • Shred the beef into large pieces.
    • Serve over creamy mashed potatoes with the carrots, apple cider sauce and fresh chopped parsley.
