Saturday Afternoon Oven Pot Roast

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 40 min. Bake: 3 hours YIELD: 8 servings.
This pot roast will be a welcome sight and will leave your house smelling heavenly. If the cooking liquid evaporates quickly, add more broth to the Dutch oven. —Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless beef chuck roast (2-1/2 pounds)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 cups sliced sweet onion
  • 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 1 carton (32 ounces) reduced-sodium beef broth
  • 6 medium carrots, cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces
  • 1/2 pound medium fresh mushrooms, quartered

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325°. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper.
  • 2. In a Dutch oven, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat; brown roast on all sides. Remove from pot. Add onion to the same pot; cook and stir over medium heat until tender, 8-10 minutes. Add tomato paste, garlic, thyme and celery seed; cook and stir 1 minute longer.
  • 3. Add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits from pot; stir in broth. Return roast to pot. Arrange carrots and mushrooms around roast; bring to a boil. Bake, covered, until meat is fork-tender, 2-1/2- 3 hours. If desired, skim fat and thicken cooking juices for gravy.
