Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
2
In a heavy, oven-proof Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the chuck eye steak with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Sear the steak in the hot Dutch oven, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes until browned.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the A.1. Original Sauce, boysenberry jam, 3/4 cup of water, coarsely chopped garlic cloves, prepared mustard, light brown sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until well mixed, then pour the mixture over the seared steak.
4
Cover the Dutch oven and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 2 hours, or until the steak is fork-tender.
5
Once cooked, transfer the steak to a large plate, cover it with foil to keep warm, and set aside. Meanwhile, place the Dutch oven with the juices over medium heat on the stovetop. Remove about 1/2 cup of the liquid and whisk in the potato starch until fully combined. Pour the mixture back into the Dutch oven.
6
Stir the sauce continuously over medium heat until it thickens, about 2 minutes. Keep warm.
7
Using two forks, shred the steak into bite-sized pieces, ensuring to keep it warm.
8
In a large saucepan, bring the milk and remaining 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Stir in the garlic powder and the remaining salt and black pepper. Gradually add the instant polenta while stirring constantly. Continue stirring for about 3 minutes, or until the polenta thickens.

Stir in the finely shredded Parmesan cheese and butter until well combined and creamy.

To serve, spoon the creamy polenta into serving bowls, top generously with the shredded steak, and drizzle with the warm gravy. Enjoy this deliciously hearty dish!
