Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven; sear beef chunks until browned on all sides
Add red onion, garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the pot; sauté until onions are golden
Deglaze the pot with beef broth, scraping up browned bits
Cover and transfer to the oven; braise for 3 hours until beef is fall-apart tender
Prepare veggies by tossing zucchini and bell peppers in olive oil, salt, and pepper; roast on a separate tray for 15 minutes
Mix cherry tomatoes with a splash of balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt
Combine roasted veggies and tomatoes with the beef in the pot; stir gently
Top with a parmesan-breadcrumb crust and bake uncovered for 5 minutes
Rest for 10 minutes before serving

Notes

Use balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar to mimic ale’s tang if desired
Add carrots or eggplant for a vegetarian protein option
Freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months
