I’ve never been a huge meat lover, especially roast, but this batch from Jones Creek Beef is SO DANG YUMMERS. I had never heard of JCB before and I was excited to try this Jones Creek Beef chuck roast.
Growing up, whenever I heard we were having Sunday roast I was not happy. It was always SO fatty and SO disgusting. (Love you mom, but blech!) I was curious and hopeful …. maybe this meat would be more flavorful and less fatty than a typical roast because it’s 100% grass fed. That makes for happier cows and tastier meat, right? Right.
We were NOT disappointed. I told the husband he was on meat detail because I’m a total meat head … see what I did there? No, but for reals, I’m an idiot when it comes to meat. Luckily, this recipe is easy enough for ME to pull off and the slow cooker saved our butts.
Plus, this risotto? TO DIE FOR.
So my husband is cursed. Let me explain: Whenever we go to a restaurant he always finds something on the menu that is SO perfect for him and unique to that specific place. The next time we go back, the dish has been removed from the menu. No joke – it’s happened SEVERAL times. First it was Cheesecake Factory (ode to the Crispy Beef!) and then it was Carrabba’s (Beef risotto).

Thus, our mission was to recreate this amazing beef risotto – the meat was fall-apart-amazing and the risotto was sublte, but creamy and garlicy. In my opinion, we nailed it.
What’s better for dinner than a creamy rosa sauce topped with melty Jones creek beef chuck roast? Enjoy babes! YUMMMM!!
*Note to self: Do not put the slow cooker out to cook in the morning and try to work out in the evening. It’s torture!
