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.

Wonderful!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this yesterday afternoon, and we both just loved it! I made one (minor) change, in that I used 1/2 cup of water and... 1/2 cup of burgundy. Gave the gravy a warm, terrific flavor. We'll be having the leftovers tonight, and I'm probably going to use my immersion blender and puree the gravy. Any leftover gravy (and this makes a lot of gravy!) will be frozen to be tossed into the next beef-based soup I make. A keeper and, from what I could see, pretty much fool-proof!Read more

Not tough at all
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Set this to cook last night and seemed like I might have put too much liquid (eyeballed the amount rather than measuring it... out). Also, I added some red wine. The cut of meat I used was bottom round. Some of the other reviews I read said theirs turned out very tough so I was a bit worried my would turn out that way as well since it looked like a lot of liquid. But this dish turned out really well. The meat was very tender. Fall off the bone tender! The liquid level I used was about half way up the side of the meat, and I ended up cooking it a lot longer. After 3 hours, my roast was still very tough. After about 4-5 hours, this pot roast was perfect! I would definitely make this again.Read more

My husband loved this pot roast. The meat was very tender and the sauce was delicious. Next time I will probably add more... vegetables. Read more

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
