Time 5h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (3 -3 1/2 lb) tied fat-trimmed boned beef chuck roast
black pepper
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon olive oil
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 in thick, 2 in long sticks
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
2/3 cup celery, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 dried bay leaf
1 cup merlot or 1 cup other red wine
1/3 cup tomato paste
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Rinse beef and pat dry. Sprinkle generously with black pepper. Melt butter or heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Add beef and brown on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes total.
  • Meanwhile, place the carrots, celery, onions, garlic, thyme peppercorns, and bay leaf in a 4 1/2 qt or larger crock pot. Mix to combine. Set beef and any juices over vegetables.
  • In a small bowl, mix tomato paste and wine. Pour over meat and vegetables.
  • Cover and cook until beef is very tender when pierced, 8-9 hours on low and 5-6 hours on high. If possible, turn meat over, halfway through cooking.
  • With 2 slotted spoons, transfer meat to a serving platter, keep warm. Skim and discard any fat from cooking liquid. Turn cooker to high. In a small bowl combine cornstarch with 1 1/2 tbs water, pour into cooker and stir often until sauce is thickened, 10 -15 minutes.
  • With slotted spoon, arrange vegetables evenly over meat in platter, pour sauce over meat and garnish with chopped parsley; serve hot.
