Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the roast with salt and pepper. Brown the meat on all sides in oil in a Dutch oven.

  2. 2

    Take out the roast. Cook the onion and carrots in the same pot until soft.

  3. 3

    Put the roast back into the pot. Pour in the beef broth.

  4. 4

    Cover the pot and bake at 325Β°F for about 3 hours until the meat is fork-tender.

  5. 5

    Boil the egg noodles until tender. Drain the water.

  6. 6

    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Swirl the pan until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty.

  7. 7

    Toss the drained noodles in the browned butter until coated.

  8. 8

    Slice the roast and serve it over the buttered noodles. Spoon some cooking liquid over the top.

Chef's tips

Brown the roast well before slow-cooking to build rich flavor. Keep the liquid at a gentle simmer so the meat stays juicy, and melt the butter slowly over medium-low heat until nutty without burning.

Storage

Refrigerate roast and noodles separately for up to 4 days.

Reheating

Reheat the roast with its braising liquid on the stovetop; warm noodles separately with a touch of butter.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • β€’Skipping the browning step before cooking the meat
  • β€’Burning the browned butter by using high heat
