#### Key Ingredients
* **Beef chuck roast or pork shoulder** — Well-marbled and slow-cooking friendly
* **Caraway seeds** — Lightly toasted to release their full flavor
* **Garlic and onions** — Essential for depth and aroma
* **Root vegetables** — Carrots, potatoes, and parsnips roast beautifully with the meat
* **Beef or vegetable broth** — To keep the roast juicy and flavorful
* **Salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs** — Thyme, bay leaves, or parsley for balance
Optional:
* A splash of vinegar or beer for added brightness and traditional flair
#### How to Make Caraway Roast
1. **Season the Roast:** Rub your meat generously with salt, pepper, and crushed caraway seeds. Let it rest at room temperature to absorb the flavors.
2. **Sear the Meat:** Brown all sides of the roast in a heavy Dutch oven or roasting pan to lock in juices.
3. **Add Aromatics & Veggies:** Layer garlic, onions, and root vegetables around the roast. Pour in broth to partially submerge the meat.
4. **Slow Roast:** Cover and roast in a low oven (around 300°F / 150°C) for several hours until fork-tender.
5. **Serve:** Let rest, then slice and serve with pan juices and roasted vegetables.
#### What to Serve With It
Caraway Roast is rich and filling on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with:
* Creamy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles
* Sauerkraut or braised red cabbage for a tangy contrast
* Crusty bread to soak up the savory juices
* A hearty ale or a glass of bold red wine like Zinfandel or Syrah
