Braised Beef in Red Wine Sauce image

Rather like a daube - but this is an Italian-style pot roast. It takes rather a long while to cook, but it can be made ahead and reheated. It is great served with pan-fried polenta to dip into the tasty sauce and sautéed spinach alongside.

This braised beef recipe is a winner! The meat was fall-apart tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a hit with my family.
