Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled

  • 5 to 6 sprigs fresh oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Season beef evenly with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, and onion powder.

  3. Remove beef briefly, make small incisions with a knife, and insert garlic cloves into the beef. Return to pot.
  4. Arrange onion slices, citrus slices, and fresh herbs around the beef. Pour citrus juice around (not over) the meat.
  5. Cover and braise in oven for 2½ to 3 hours until fork-tender.
