Ingredients
3 to 4-pound beef chuck roast
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons salted butter, divided
3 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
4 shallots, halved
2 cups apple cider
2 cups chicken broth (or dry white wine)
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
2 tablespoons apple butter
1 pound baby potatoes
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Flaky sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Pat the beef chuck roast dry and rub with salt, pepper, and flour.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté onions for 5 minutes.
- Add shallots and 1/2 cup apple cider. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 5 more minutes until golden.
- Stir in thyme, nestle roast into the onions, and spread apple butter over the roast.
- Pour in remaining apple cider and chicken broth (or wine).
- Arrange baby potatoes around the roast. Cover and roast in the oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- Remove potatoes once roast is tender. Place on baking sheet.
- Increase oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice potatoes, top with remaining butter, sage, garlic powder, and flaky salt. Roast for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
- Slice roast and serve with crispy potatoes and spoon juices over the top.
Notes
- Use high-quality unsweetened apple cider for best flavor.
- Carrots, parsnips, or turnips can be added with the potatoes.
- To thicken gravy, use a cornstarch slurry after cooking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for 3 months.
- Searing the roast is recommended for added flavor.
