Rich Braised Chuck Pot Roast


I have been trying for a rich, beefy, flavorful pot roast for years and unable to create exactly that until now. Finally! This roast is a simple cut of beef, inexpensive and full of flavor. This is a slow braising process in the oven. I added carrots, onions, and garlic in the last 1.5 hours and served with recipe #336506 for a wonderful sunday night dinner.

Steps


Massage the roast with the seasoning.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Heat a cast iron skillet with bacon grease and sear the roast on all sides until browned.
In a dutch oven add the roast and pour in the wine.
Place in the oven , covered , for 5 hours.
Check occasionally if additional wine is needed.
Remove roast and add the vegetables and beef stock and return to the oven for an additional 1.
5 hours , covered.
Check for doneness , the meat should be extremely tender , and the vegetables roasted to an almost a caramelized state.
Remove from the oven and let the meat rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve with mashed potatoes and all the vegetables and jus on top.
Enjoy !.
