FANCY YANKEE POT ROAST image

Categories     Beef

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup pure olive oil
3 onions, sliced
One 3- to 4-pound top or bottom round beef roast
Flour for dredging
8 slender carrots, or fatter ones cut in half or quartered
3 ribs celery, cut in half
2 1/2 cups beef broth
1 1/2 cups hearty red wine
5 or 6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 rounded teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
2 rounded tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy flameproof casserole, preferably cast iron, over medium heat, heat the olive oil and saute the onions until golden. Thoroughly dredge the beef in the flour, covering all the surfaces. Add to the pan and brown on all sides. The flour may cause the onions to burn slightly. This is good and will add lots of flavor. Add the carrots, celery, beef broth, wine, thyme, black pepper, and salt to taste. Reduce heat, partially cover, and barely simmer for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, turning the beef occasionally. Remove the carrots and celery when they are cooked and reserve. When the beef is falling-apart tende, remove it from the broth. Remove the thyme sprigs. Knead the butter and 2 tablespoons flour together until thoroughly combined. Add the mixture to the broth and stir with a wooden spoon until you have a sauce the consistency of buttermilk. Remove from the heat. To serve, slice the beef and arrange on a platter. Cover with some of the sauce. Put the remaining sauce in a bowl or gravy boat. Arrange the carrots and celery attractively on the beef platter. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if you like. Serve immediately.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit! The meat is so tender and juicy, and the vegetables are cooked perfectly. I usually add a few extra carrots and potatoes to the pot, and I also like to use a dark beer instead of beef broth.
