How to prepare:

Preparing our Beef Arm Roast is a breeze. Simply follow these easy steps:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Season the Boneless Arm Roast generously with salt and pepper.
3. In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Sear the Beef Arm Roast on all sides until browned. This step will help seal in the flavors and create a nice caramelized crust.
5. Next, add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
6. Pour in the beef broth and red wine (optional), and use a spatula to scrape the bottom of the pot, releasing any delicious browned bits.
7. Return the Beef Arm Roast to the pot and add the fresh rosemary and thyme for a burst of aromatic flavors.
8. Cover the pot with its lid and transfer it to the preheated oven to slow cook.
9. Let the roast cook for approximately 3 to 4 hours, or until it becomes tender and easily shreds with a fork. The low and slow cooking method ensures a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
10. Once cooked, remove the pot from the oven and let the roast rest for 15 minutes. This resting time allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist and flavorful roast.
11. Finally, slice the Beef Arm Roast and serve it with the succulent vegetables and pan juices.
