Sunday Braised Pot Roast
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg chuck (blade) roast
- 2 onions, quartered; 4 carrots, chunked; 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp oil; salt and pepper
- 2 cups beef broth; 1 cup red wine (or more broth)
- 2 tbsp tomato paste; 1 tbsp Worcestershire
- 2 bay leaves, sprig of thyme
Instructions
- Pat the roast dry, season well. Sear in oil in a heavy pot until deep brown on all sides. Remove.
- Brown the onions and garlic briefly. Stir in the tomato paste, then deglaze with the wine.
- Return the roast. Add broth, Worcestershire, bay, and thyme — liquid should come halfway up.
- Cover and braise at 160 °C for about 3 hours, adding the carrots for the last hour, until fork-tender.
- Rest the meat; skim fat and reduce the liquid into gravy. Slice or pull, and serve with the gravy.
