Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, chopped
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 3 celery stalks, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 2 cups beef broth
• 0.5 cups vodka
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
• 2 teaspoons horseradish
• 2 bay leaves
• 3 fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Season the beef chuck roast evenly with kosher salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the roast for 4-5 minutes per side, until it is deep brown on all sides. Remove the roast and set it aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and tomato paste, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and horseradish. Mix well to combine.

Step 8

Add the bay leaves and thyme sprigs into the mixture.

Step 9

Return the seared roast to the pot, nestling it into the liquid and vegetables.

Step 10

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.

Step 12

Carefully remove the pot from the oven. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.

Step 13

Serve the Bloody Mary Pot Roast with some of the braising liquid and vegetables spooned over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
