Ingredients

1 (3 to 4-pound) boneless bottom round roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, peeled and quartered
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup red wine
2 cups beef stock
2 fresh thyme sprigs
2 bay leaves
3 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
Freshly chopped parsley leaves, for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Season the roast on all sides with salt and pepper.

In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil and sear the roast on all sides. Add the onions, garlic and tomato paste and cook until slightly colored. Add the wine, stock, thyme and bay leaves. Bring the liquid to a simmer, cover, and place in the oven.

Roast for 1 1/2 hours and then add the carrots. Continue to cook for 1 more hour. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes. Slice and place on a serving platter. Skim the fat off the braising liquid and serve with the roast. Garnish with parsley.

Mom's is better!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This was a very easy recipe and it could have been great if it had more of a taste. Seasoning only the meat does not make a... tasty dish overall. If I make this again, I will season at each stage (i.e. season onions, carrots, ect). My mom's pot roast is still the best....I'll stick with hers! Read more

Also disappointed and also used cast iron.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The meat was dry and overdone. Funny, but I used my cast iron dutch oven like Sandra, and I was really disappointed. Maybe it... was the cast iron... who knows. I spent $17 on the roast, and probably won't make again. Read more

I have always made my mom's recipe for pot roast, but I think this beats it! Definitely a keeper!

BEST POT ROAST EVER!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Excellent! I always used the standard pot roast seasoning bag you purchase in the grocery store. I decided to try something... different. I call this my $150 pot roast dinner. I went out to purchase a stock pot $115.00 and then the ingredients. Well worth it. I will never use the "seasoning bag" again. I have never tasted anything better along the lines of pot roast. This recipe will be used over and over again. I am a big "Ina" fan, but now I will have to start trying some of the Neely's recipes. Food network - you rock.Read more
