Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper. Sear the roast for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
  2. Remove the roast from the pot. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, sauté for about 5 minutes until soft.
  3. Pour in red wine, deglazing the pot. Simmer for 2-3 minutes before adding beef broth, diced tomatoes, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Return the roast to the pot, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 2 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
  5. In a separate saucepan, melt butter and stir in Arborio rice for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Gradually add warmed chicken broth, stirring constantly for about 20-30 minutes until creamy.
  7. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and serve with sliced pot roast and chopped parsley.
