  • 2 tbsp sherry wine
  • 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika powder
  • 1 red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley leaves fresh and chopped

Instructions

  • Marinate Beef: Rub the beef rump roast with lemon juice, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
  • Prepare Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the perfectly sliced zucchini, cherry tomatoes, red and yellow capsicum, and perfectly sliced potatoes.
  • Add Olive Oil and Seasoning: Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the vegetables and toss them to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Prepare Chorizo and Garlic: In the same bowl, add the diagonally sliced Spanish chorizo sausage and halved garlic heads. Toss to combine.
  • Arrange Vegetables: Arrange the mixed vegetables, chorizo, and garlic in a roasting pan.
  • Place Marinated Beef on Top: Place the marinated beef rump roast on top of the arranged vegetables in the roasting pan.
  • Add Chicken Stock and Sherry Wine: Pour fresh chicken stock and sherry wine over the beef and vegetables in the roasting pan.
  • Season: Sprinkle smoked paprika powder over the entire dish for a flavorful Spanish touch.
  • Roast: Roast the beef and vegetables in the preheated oven for approximately 1 to 1h 10 minutes or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness. Baste the beef with the cooking juices occasionally.
  • Check Vegetables: Check the vegetables for tenderness and adjust the cooking time if needed.
  • Rest and Garnish: Once done, remove the beef from the oven, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Slice the beef against the grain.
  • Serve: Arrange the sliced beef on a serving platter alongside the roasted vegetables. Garnish with thinly sliced red onion and freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley. Serve the Beef Chuck Roast Spanish-style, savoring the rich flavors of perfectly cooked beef and the aromatic roasted vegetables with a hint of smoky paprika.

Notes

• For a richer flavor, try adding beef broth or red wine to the pot when cooking.
• To make the dish more flavorful, add a bay leaf or two to the pot when cooking.
• If you don’t have a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, you can also cook the beef chuck roast in a slow cooker. Just follow the same directions, but cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the beef chuck roast is fork-tender.
• For a thicker sauce, try adding a few tablespoons of tomato paste to the pot when cooking.
• To make the dish spicier, add some diced chipotle peppers to the pot when cooking.
• To make the dish more aromatic, add some chopped fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme to the pot when cooking.
