Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 4 hours 20 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs Certified Angus Beef English Chuck Pot Roast
  • 1 Bunch Celery trimmed, cleaned and cut in 1” pieces.
  • 1 lb Carrots about 5 good sized ones cleaned & cut into 1” pieces.
  • 2 Sweet Onions sliced and cut into 1” pieces
  • 1 lb Little Potatoes red, yellow or mix, cut in half
  • 5 cloves Garlic minced.
  • 5 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 3 Sprigs Fresh Rosemary
  • 2 Dried Bay Leaves
  • 32 oz. Beef Bone Broth
  • 16 oz. Red Cooking wine
  • 2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 8 Tbsp Caraluzzi’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 Tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tbsp Salt
  • 1 Tbsp ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Tie up the Thyme & Rosemary sprigs together in a bunch using butcher twine. Set aside.
  • Season the roast on all sides with the salt & pepper.
  • In a heavy bottomed oven safe pot over medium heat, add the olive oil and sear both sides of the roast for about 3 minutes a side. When done remove roast from pot and set aside.
  • In the warm pot add the carrots, celery and onions to the leftover oil & juices from the roast over medium heat. Stir and sauté the vegetables to brown them, about 4-5 minutes a side. When just about done add the garlic and stir another 1 minute.
  • Then add tomato paste and stir to evenly coat all the vegetables, allowing the tomato paste to cook slightly, about 2 minutes. When done add the cooking wine into the pot and stir to scrape all the vegetables & brown bits off the bottom of the pot. Allow the wine to simmer for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the bone broth, potatoes, herb bundle and bay leaves. Bring mixture to a boil and then add the roast, making sure it’s fully submerged in the pot. Turn off the heat.
  • Cover the pot tightly with aluminum foil and place in preheated oven and cook for 4 hours.
  • When done remove the roast and vegetables from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside. Put the pot with remaining cooked juices aside.
  • In small sauce pan over low-medium heat add butter and melt down. Once melted down add the flour and stir constantly for about 2-3 minutes to create a roux.
  • Then in the pot of juices over medium-high heat, add the butter-flour roux and bring to a boil. The gravy will thicken in about 2 minutes.
  • Portion out servings of beef, potatoes & vegetables on each plate and ladle the gravy over everything and serve.
