FANCY YANKEE POT ROAST
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 tender, 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.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, rump roast, or bottom round roast are all good options for pot roast. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when braised in liquid.
- Brown the beef before braising: Browning the beef adds flavor and color to the pot roast. Be sure to brown the beef in a hot skillet over medium-high heat.
- Use a good quality braising liquid: The braising liquid is what gives pot roast its flavor, so it's important to use a good quality liquid. Beef broth, red wine, or even water can be used.
- Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables and herbs add flavor and nutrition to pot roast. Common vegetables used in pot roast include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. Common herbs used in pot roast include thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
- Cook the pot roast low and slow: Pot roast should be cooked low and slow in order to tenderize the beef. The ideal cooking temperature for pot roast is between 250°F and 300°F.
- Let the pot roast rest before serving: Once the pot roast is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pot roast.

Pot roast is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and tender pot roast that your family and friends will love.
