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 can crushed tomatoes
1 cup water
2 yellow onion, halved
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 bunch baby carrots
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 cup button mushrooms, stems removed and sliced in half
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves

Directions

Season all sides of the beef with a fair amount of salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot that has a tight cover; heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately high heat. Brown the meat on all sides, taking the time to get a nice crust on the outside. Pour in the tomatoes and the water. Scatter the vegetables and herbs around the pot roast, season with salt and pepper; and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Braise for about 3 hours, 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.

Excellent Go To Sunday Meal!!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was looking for a Pot Roast recipe and came upon this one. I was a little skeptical, with some of the ingredients...mainly... the rosemary...because I am not a huge rosemary fan, but i figured I would give it a try. I, like some of the other reviewers, replaced the water with 1/2 cup red wine (Cabernet) and 1/2 cup beef broth. I also added some carrot, celery, onion and garlic to the cooking liquid along with a little crushed red pepper. I cooked my almost 5lb roast on the stovetop for approximately 3 hours and I could not be happier!!!! The meat was tender and delicious! My husband raved about it as well as my 2 1/2 year old son. This is definitely a recipe that I am going to refer back to time and time again!!! Read more

Great Gravy but Tough Meat
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

What cut of meat works best for this? I bought a bottom round chuck roast and it turned out very tough. The gravy was... delicious though!Read more

Outstanding!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Due to our own family "budget cuts", i tried this recipe with a top round roast. Pretty tough cut of meat. The only thing I... did different was after crusting the roast on all sides I took a small can of tomato paste and covered the roast and added an additional 1/4 cup of water. This was amazing. The flavor was fantastic. I can't wait for chuck roasts to go on sale!!!Read more
