🍂 Happy Fall, Y’all!
With tarantulas crossing the road and the cottonwoods starting to turn, there’s no denying it—fall is officially here. And just like the seasons, it’s time our meals changed too.
We’re sharing two takes on our favorite cold-weather comfort food: Roast Beef. Whether you’ve got time to slow-simmer something rich and hearty, or you’re a busy mama who needs a set-it-and-forget-it dinner—we’ve got you covered.
Time: 30 min prep, 4+ hr cook
Serves: 5 large portions
Method: Oven-braised in cast iron or Dutch oven
Ingredients
-
Salt & pepper
-
3 tbsp olive oil
-
3 stalks celery, diced
-
1 container mushrooms
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 onions, diced
-
16 brussels sprouts
-
10 small purple potatoes, halved
-
4 large carrots, chopped
-
2 cups red wine (or sub with more beef broth)
-
2 cups beef broth
-
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
-
3 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 275ºF.
-
In a large oven-safe pot, heat olive oil and roast garlic. Season roast with salt and pepper, then sear all sides until browned. Set meat aside.
-
Lower heat to medium. Add celery, onions, and brussels sprouts. Cook until soft.
-
Pour in wine and broth, scraping the bottom of the pot.
-
Return roast to pot. Add mushrooms, potatoes, carrots, rosemary, and thyme. Make sure everything is covered with liquid.

Cover and cook in the oven for 4 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft.

Serve with a ladle of that rich sauce. Best enjoyed with a glass of red wine—and maybe a fire crackling nearby.
