NANA'S ITALIAN POT ROAST RECIPE



NANA'S ITALIAN POT ROAST Recipe image

Provided by charlotteh371

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds pot roast beef shanks or short ribs
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
28 ounces crushed tomatoes 1 can
15 ounces tomato sauce 1 can
1/3 cup red wine
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning and herbs
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound rigatoni pasta
Garnish: chopped parsley and parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Liberally season both sides of beef with salt and pepper. Don't be shy. They will need lots of flavor. Add olive oil to large pot over medium high heat on stove. Once olive oil is hot, add beef to pot and deeply brown on all sides then remove from pot. Scrap the bottom of the pan to get the flavor back into the oil. Next add chopped onion and sweat them for a few minutes until they start to soften and turn golden. Add in minced garlic and only cook for 1 minute. Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, red wine, and chicken stock. Stir in Italian seasoning, sugar, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste. Bring sauce to a simmer. Lastly return browned beef to pot and submerge in the sauce. Bake covered for 3 1/2- 4 1/2 hours or until beef is cooked through, tender and falling off the bone and sauce has thickened. This will depend on the thickness of beef. Remove pot from oven and gently ladle the oil off the top of the sauce which has settled. Simmer over medium low heat to thicken sauce. Cook pasta according to instructions on package and drain. Serve completed gravy by adding pasta to serving platter, topping with meat and gravy and garnishing with chopped parsley and parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Sear the roast in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until browned on all sides. Browning the roast before braising it adds flavor and color.
  • Add vegetables to the pot along with the roast. This will add flavor and nutrients to the pot roast.
  • Cover the pot and braise the roast in the oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender. The low and slow cooking method allows the meat to become tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. The soft and flavorful meat pairs well with a variety of side dishes.

Conclusion:

This Italian pot roast recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The combination of beef, vegetables, and herbs creates a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make a pot roast that is tender, juicy, and full of flavor.
