Ingredients
1 (3 to 4 pound) piece beef chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1 cup beef broth
1 cup red wine
2 red onions, halved
2 garlic cloves, chopped
8 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 cup button mushrooms, stems removed
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
Directions
Season beef with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot with lid (oval shape works good), heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium high heat. Brown the meat on all sides until you get a crust on the outside. Add the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and wine. Add the vegetables and herbs around the pot roast, add some salt and pepper, and drizzle with 1 TB of olive oil. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Braise for about 3 hours, flipping the pot roast over and basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices, until the beef is fork tender. Slice the pot roast and arrange on platter surrounded by the vegetables. Serve with the pot juices.
