Photo: Red Wine Pot Roast with Honey and Thyme Recipe
I couldn't leave a meat section without a pot roast recipe. This is the ultimate one pot meal and so low maintenance. Pot roast is an inexpensive way to get a lot of tasty meat. The honey and thyme add a really nice perfume to the dish.
Ingredients
- 1 bottom round roast, about 4 pounds
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 small onions, medium diced
- 1 head garlic (about 10 to 12 cloves), lightly smashed
- 1 pound carrots (about 4 medium), cut roughly into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken, beef, or vegetable broth
- 2 cups medium-bodied red wine
- 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 5 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2 to 2-inch cubes
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Season roast with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over high heat for a couple minutes. Add the meat and brown well on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Remove and set aside on a plate. Lower heat to medium and saute onions, garlic, and carrots for 5 minutes. Add the broth, wine, honey, and thyme, stir to combine, and then add the roast back to the pot.
Cover pot and transfer to oven. Bake for 2 hours, turning the meat over twice. Add the potatoes to the pot and bake, uncovered, for another 30 to 45 minutes longer until both the potatoes and the meat are fork-tender.

This is an excellent recipe and, although I use a lot of Food Network recipes and like them, this is one that I felt should have a review because it is so good. We substituted leeks for the 3 small onions because we had them on hand and wanted to use them up, and it just made the pot roast so tasty. We will definitely be making this one again!

This is my go-to roast recipe. The tastes are divine. The honey flavors the vegetables and the thyme complements the beef. Slow roasting all the goodness together. Love it!!!
