Hearty Red Wine Braised Pot Roast
Ingredients
  • 3 pounds boneless beef chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 8 pearl onions, peeled and halved
  • 6 red potatoes, washed and halved
  • 6 carrot, peeled and cut into 2-inch lengths
Instructions
1
Firstly, preheat your oven to a medium-high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Season the roast with a generous amount of flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Set the roast aside for now.
3
Next, heat a substantial amount of canola oil in an oven-safe Dutch oven with a lid over medium-high heat. Carefully place the roast into the pot and sear it on all sides, taking approximately 10 minutes to achieve this.
4
Once the roast is browned, turn off the heat and pour in a sufficient amount of water and wine to cover the roast. Add some dried basil, salt, marjoram, thyme, and black pepper to give it extra flavor.
5
Add a layer of sliced onions on top of the roast, creating a visually appealing and savory combination.
6
Then, place the roast in the preheated oven, covered with a lid, and bake for 3 hours.
7
After 3 hours of baking, add some pearl onions, potatoes, and carrots to the pot. If the roast appears dry, you can add some additional water to keep it moist.
8
Continue baking the roast, covered with a lid, until it becomes tender and easily pulls apart when pierced with a fork, taking an additional hour to achieve this.
