Ingredients
  

  • 1.4 kg halal beef roast (palette, macreuse, or well-marbled joint)
  • 4 large carrots
  • 4 medium potatoes
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 3 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups halal beef broth
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Equipment

  • Heavy-duty oven-safe pot or Dutch oven
  • Sharp knives
  • Measuring spoons
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 163°C (325°F). Pat the beef dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. In a large oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the beef on each side for about 4-5 minutes until deeply browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, sauté onions and garlic until soft. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add in the beef broth and scrape any brown bits from the pot. Toss in the thyme and rosemary.
  4. Return the beef to the pot, cover tightly, and braise in the oven for 2 hours.
  5. After 2 hours, add the carrots and potatoes around the beef, cover, and continue cooking for 1 more hour.
  6. Remove the pot from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing the beef against the grain. Serve with vegetables and pan juices.

Notes

Make sure to dry the meat well for a better sear. Feel free to substitute halal beef with any cut suitable for braising, such as chuck roast. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. The flavors improve after a day or two, making the leftovers even better! Serve on a large platter with fresh parsley and enjoy with a side of rustic bread or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
