Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Season the beef chuck roast all over with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the pot and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Deglaze the pot by adding the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom.

Step 8

Stir in the coconut milk, crushed tomatoes, orange juice, lime juice, allspice, and cinnamon. Mix well.

Step 9

Add the bay leaves and thyme sprigs to the pot, and return the beef roast to the pot, nestling it within the liquid.

Step 10

Top the roast with the sliced red and green bell peppers.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 13

Remove the pot from the oven and discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.

Step 14

Serve the pot roast with its flavorful sauce and vegetables, garnished with fresh parsley.

Step 15

Pair with steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread for a complete meal. Enjoy!
