Description

This tender, flavorful beef roast is slow-braised to perfection with a delicious cranberry balsamic glaze that adds a sweet and tangy twist, making it a perfect centerpiece for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3-pound) beef roast
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup cranberry juice
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • Season the Roast: Generously season the beef roast with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Prepare the Liquid: In a large Dutch oven, combine the beef broth, cranberry juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, thyme, and cinnamon. Stir to mix well.
  • Add the Roast: Place the seasoned beef roast into the Dutch oven, ensuring it’s submerged in the liquid. Cover with a lid.
  • Braise in Oven: Place the Dutch oven in the preheated oven. Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  • Rest the Roast: Once done, carefully remove the beef from the Dutch oven and let it rest on a cutting board for about 15 minutes before slicing.
  • Make the Glaze: Strain the cooking liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a saucepan. Simmer the strained liquid over medium heat until it thickens to your desired consistency, creating a glaze.
  • Serve: Slice the beef roast and serve it drizzled with the cranberry balsamic glaze.
