Ingredients

For the Beef

2 tablespoons Olive Oil Adds richness and helps sear the beef to perfection.
3 pounds Chuck Roast Ideal for slow cooking; offers great flavor and tenderness.
1/2 cup All Purpose Flour Creates a flavorful crust on the beef before braising; can be substituted with cornstarch for a gluten-free option.

For the Sauce

2 cups Beef Broth Forms the base of the braising liquid, adding rich flavor.
1 can Coconut Milk Provides the creamy texture and unique flavor; use full-fat for best results.
1/4 cup Soy Sauce Adds saltiness and umami, balancing the sweetness of the coconut; tamari can be used as a gluten-free alternative.
2 tablespoons Red Curry Paste The star ingredient that imparts spicy, aromatic flavor to the dish.
1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger Adds a fresh, zesty element to the braising liquid.
4 cloves Garlic Essential for depth of flavor.
1 tablespoon Sugar Balances the spices with a touch of sweetness.
1 tablespoon Fish Sauce Adds a salty depth of flavor; this is a secret ingredient that elevates the dish.
1 medium Onion Adds sweetness and texture; it can be substituted based on personal preference.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather your ingredients.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil, season the chuck roast, coat it in flour, and sear both sides until browned (about 5 minutes each).
Remove the beef and add beef broth, coconut milk, soy sauce, red curry paste, ginger, garlic, sugar, and fish sauce to the pot; stir to make the sauce.
Return the chuck roast to the pot, cover, and braise in the oven for 2 hours.
After cooking, shred the beef with two forks and stir in the sliced onions.
Let the beef rest in the sauce for about 5 minutes before serving over rice or noodles.
