Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the beef generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy 6-quart roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until brown on all sides, about 15 minutes total cooking time. Transfer the beef to a bowl. Add remaining tablespoon oil to the pan, add the onions and saute until tender, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the pot, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute 1 minute. Add the wine and boil 1 minute. Stir in the broth and mushrooms. Return the beef to the pan. Bring the liquids to a boil. Cover and transfer to the oven. Braise until the beef is fork-tender, turning the beef over halfway through cooking, about 3 hours.

Transfer the beef to a cutting board. Tent the beef with foil and let stand 15 minutes. Meanwhile, spoon any excess fat off the top of the pan juices. Transfer the pan juices and vegetables to a blender and puree until smooth. Combine the sauce and rosemary sprig in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Cut the beef across the grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange the sliced beef on a platter and garnish with rosemary. Spoon the sauce over and serve, passing the remaining sauce in a sauce boat.

    This was so easy to make and turned out perfect! I made no changes I cooked two because of the amount of people I was hosting. Everyone loved it even my picky grandparents.

    The best pot roast you can make! I get the Dried Wild Mushroom package at Trader Joes when available, that has porcini and other mushrooms. So inexpensive. I puree the sauce at the end, and add some Brandy. Serve with Mock Mashed potatoes (cauliflower/low carb/delicious by Chef Stella (recipe on this web site with a bit of horseradish in the mix.

    I made a few changes based on what I had on hand. The only one that I think made a read flavor difference was the onion: I used instead of 2. I was afraid 2 onions would overpower everything else. I liked it with the 1 I used just fine...so the minus 1 star is for what I think would be too strong on the onion as written. The lesser change was the wine. I only had an expensive bottle of red on hand that I was not willing to donate to the cook pot.....I did have cranberry juice on hand which I thought would add a rich and fruity flavor to is as well as the wine. I used that and it tasted really good.PS: I did it in the CrockPot.
