Spiced Pot Roast with Beets & Brussels

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons caraway seeds
• 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
• 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
• 3 pounds grass-fed whole boneless beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 white onions, quartered
• 2 red beets, peeled and cut into wedges
• ¼ cup tomato paste
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 1 cup Brussels sprouts, whole

Method

Step 1

Pat dry the chuck roast, then sprinkle salt and pepper on all sides. Heat a large pot on high heat and toast the caraway seeds, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds for 30 seconds. Add the roast to the pan, coating all sides with the spices, and sear each side for 5 minutes until golden brown.

Step 2

To the same pot, add the onions, beets, tomato paste, and lemon juice. Continue to cook for 2 minutes, and then add 10 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low, cooking for 4 hours. (If you want to make this recipe ahead of time, store the roast in the fridge overnight after this step, and start the following step the next day.)

Step 3

Turn off heat and let cool on the stove. Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Step 4

In a small pot, add water and bring to a boil. Add Brussels sprouts and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, strain, and discard water.

Step 5

Remove meat from pot and slice into ¾-inch slices. Transfer to a baking dish, along with 1 ½ cups of cooking liquid, onions, beets, and Brussels sprouts.

Step 6

Transfer baking dish to the oven, without a lid, and roast for 10 minutes or until the meat and Brussels sprouts are caramelized. Sprinkle Maldon sea salt and drizzle with olive oil before serving (optional).

When it comes to creating energy and feeling youthful, we want to think on a cellular level. That’s where NAD comes in. Known as the “longevity molecule,” NAD assists with DNA repair, energy production, immunity, cognition, and so much more. NAD levels start declining in our 30s, so if we want to feel our best year after year, we need to take action. We now know that a naturally occurring compound called NMN can dramatically boost NAD levels, so I was excited to learn we can harness that power through Wonderfeel Youngr™ NMN. It’s the best NAD precursor on the market with benefits ranging from improved skin to sharper cognition, optimized sleep, and sustained energy. I’ve been taking Wonderfeel Youngr™ NMN for seven months, and I’m definitely feeling more energetic and focused. Right now, Wonderfeel is offering $15 off when you subscribe.
