If you've ever wanted to cook a really good piece of beef in the oven and have it turn out tender every time, you're in the right place. Most of what I cook leans on simple, slow oven methods, the kind that turn tougher cuts into something tender, rich, and worth sitting down for. From chuck roast to oxtails and the sides that go with them, this is how I cook at home.
