POT ROAST WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

• Cook and stir onion and garlic in the oil until onions are golden, about 15 minutes. Stir beef stock, tomatoes, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, and bay leaves into onions and garlic; bring to a boil and place chuck roast into the mixture. Cover pot.
• Cook in the preheated oven until meat is very tender, 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Scatter carrot slices around the beef and bring to a boil over medium heat; return to oven for 30 more minutes. Distribute potatoes around the beef and vegetables, bring to a boil again over medium heat, and bake until potatoes are tender, about 30 more minutes.
• Transfer beef to a serving platter, cover loosely with a tent of aluminum foil, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.

Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaves. Slice beef; serve on a platter surrounded by vegetables. Pour gravy over beef.

Stir in beef broth mixture; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with beef. Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours, or until meat is fork-tender. Remove beef, potatoes, carrots, celery and onion from the slow cooker; shred beef, using two forks. Cover with aluminum foil. Strain cooking juices through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan over medium heat; discard solids. Skim any remaining fat from surface and discard. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, whisking constantly, until desired thickness, about 5-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve beef, potatoes, carrots, celery and onion with juices immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

OLD FASHIONED POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat the Dutch oven on medium heat until it is hot. Add a little oil of choice and heat that too.
• Sear both sides of your chuck roast, about five minutes on each side. Just brown it.
• Remove the roast from the pan and set aside on a plate.
• Add the chopped onion and celery to the oil and juices in the pan. Cook for a few minutes while stirring. These will mostly dissolve during the cooking of the roast but they add tons of flavor.
• Add the roast back into the pan and add 1/2 cup of water or beef broth and cover.
• Place the Dutch oven in the oven.
• Cook for about two hours at 350 degrees.
• After two hours add peeled and quartered russet potatoes. The size of your pot will determine how many you can add. But allow about ½- 1 potato for each person.
• Cook for another hour. Remove pan from oven and check for doneness in potatoes. They should be tender and cooked through.
• Check that the roast is done. It should pull apart easily with a fork. If it needs to cook more, remove potatoes and return to the oven for another half an hour.
• Or if the roast is done and the potatoes aren't, remove the roast and cook the potatoes for more time.
• When the roast and potatoes are both done cooking, let them rest in the pan until ready to serve to keep them warm.
• Granny recommends cooking the carrots separately to retain their color and flavor. This is how to do it.
• Peel the carrots, and slice off tip and the stem. Cut in half, then cut each half into about four carrot sticks.
• Place carrots in saucepan with a small amount of water. Add a little salt and about a teaspoon of sugar. Cook until tender but not too soft, about 10 minutes.
• To serve, place the pot roast in the center of a platter and surround with the potatoes and carrots.
