- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Toss the beef roast with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, then sear it in a hot skillet on all sides until browned.
- Add the garlic, onion, carrots, celery, and herbs (thyme, rosemary, sage) to the skillet and sauté until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the red wine, Porto, and beef broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and falls apart easily.
- While the beef is cooking, prepare the caramelized chestnuts. Peel and core the chestnuts, then toss them with butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Roast the chestnuts in a separate pan in the oven for 30 minutes, or until caramelized and tender.
- Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it thinly.
- Serve the sliced beef with the caramelized chestnuts, roasted potatoes, and sautéed carrots.
