A cozy pot roast with a bright tomato basil sauce, served over creamy Parmesan risotto for a comforting and sophisticated meal.

  • Total Time: 255 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-4 lbs pot roast
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (for risotto)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the pot roast with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until browned.
  2. Remove the roast and set aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened.
  3. Add diced tomatoes and dried basil. Return the pot roast to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours until tender.
  4. For the risotto, in a separate saucepan, heat chicken or vegetable broth. In another pan, melt butter and add Arborio rice, stirring for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Gradually add warmed broth to the rice a ladle at a time, stirring continuously until absorbed. Continue until the rice is creamy and al dente. Stir in Parmesan cheese.
  6. Serve the pot roast over the Parmesan risotto.

Notes

Sear the roast in a very hot pan to lock in flavor. Keep the risotto broth warm for even cooking. Don’t skip tasting for seasoning after adding Parmesan.
