  • Total Time: 6 hours 15 minutes to 8 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 to 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roast: Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Generously season all sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, ensuring the meat is well-coated for maximum flavor.
  2. Brown the Meat: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until a deep golden brown forms, which locks in juices and builds flavor.
  3. Add Aromatics and Liquids: Add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the pan and cook for about a minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.
  4. Slow Cook: Transfer the seared roast, garlic, tomatoes, and broth to a slow cooker or keep everything in the Dutch oven. Cover and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours until the roast is tender and infused with flavor.
  5. Finish with Cream and Cheese: Once the roast is fork-tender, stir in the heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan cheese to create a rich, silky sauce that complements the beef perfectly.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Slice or shred the beef roast, then ladle the creamy sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use well-marbled beef chuck roast for the best tenderness and flavor.
  • Don’t skip browning the meat; it enhances the overall taste dramatically.
  • Cook low and slow to achieve melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  • Add cream and Parmesan after cooking to keep the sauce silky and prevent curdling.
  • Let the roast rest briefly before slicing to allow juices to redistribute evenly.
