Italian Pot Roast
Slow-Cooked Italian Herb Pot Roast with Rich Tomato Sauce
Ingredients:
3 to 4 lbs beef chuck roast
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups crushed tomatoes
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup dry red wine (optional)
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 bay leaves
3 large carrots, cut into chunks
3 celery stalks, cut into chunks
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Season the beef roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove roast and set aside.
In the same pot, add onions and garlic and sauté until fragrant and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, beef broth, red wine (if using), oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.
Return the roast to the pot, nestling it into the sauce. Add carrots and celery around the roast.
Cover the pot and place it in the oven. Cook for 3 to 3½ hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Remove bay leaves and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
