Time 4h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pot roast (about 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 pounds - chuck or other suitable pot roast)
5 medium cloves garlic (halved)
Dash salt
Dash pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium onion (quartered and sliced)
Optional: 4 ounces mushrooms (small whole or sliced)
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups red wine (such as pinot noir or cabernet)
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried leaf thyme)
2 pounds potatoes (cut in 2-inch chunks)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • With a small sharp knife, cut 8 to 10 deep slits in the pot roast, spacing them evenly. Push half of a garlic clove into each cut. Heat the oil in a braising pan or large sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the roast, turning to brown all sides. Remove the roast from the pan and set aside.
  • Add butter to the hot pan and reduce heat to medium. When butter is foamy, add the onions and cook, stirring, until tender and lightly browned. Add mushrooms, if using, and cook for 2 minutes longer. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, for about 1 to 2 minutes longer. Stir in the red wine and beef broth. Continue cooking, stirring, until the liquids are thickened and bubbly.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 F.
  • Put the roast back in the pan and sprinkle with thyme. Cover with a lid or cover the pan tightly with foil and transfer to the oven. Cook for 2 hours.
  • Add the potatoes, cover, and continue cooking for 1 to 2 hours longer, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Boneless beef chuck roast is ideal for this recipe; the tough meat becomes tender and succulent when cooked with moisture for a long time. Trim away as much fat as possible to keep the sauce from becoming greasy.
