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.
