Now that cooler weather has returned we can resume using our ovens to make great winter comfort foods. First up - Beef Pot Roast. Here is an easy and reliably delicious recipe.
Beef Pot Roast. Serves 4+
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 2-3 pounds boneless chuck roast
* 2 cloves of garlic, minced
* 1 large onion, chopped
* 2 bay leaves
* Other optional herbs/spices such as anise/fennel; thyme; coriander...
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Preheat oven to 325º F. Heat a heavy Dutch oven on top of the stove over medium high heat. Add oil, and sear the beef well on both sides. Remove the beef to a plate. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot; stir; and return the beef, slightly nestling it into the other ingredients. Cover the pot and cook the beef in the oven for 30 minutes at 325º. Then reduce the heat to 300º and continue cooking for 1-1/2 hours. Remove the roast to a platter and let rest about 10 minutes. Slice and top with onions and meat juices.
Enjoy!
