Pot Roast Tuesday...hmmm yummy

Ok pot roast Tuesday here is a recipe for pot roast I will try today i am very excited as it is a comfort food. 

Ingredients

  • 4 lbs. beef chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat
  • kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 15-oz. can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 red onions, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 6 carrots, peeled and sliced 1/2" thick
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced 1/2" thick
  • Assorted fresh herbs: I like a few sprigs of rosemary, thyme, flat leaf parsley, and a few bay leaves, but you can use whatever you like.

Preparation

One hour before cooking, take the meat out of the fridge, rinse it and pat it dry with paper towels.

When you’re ready to start cooking, season the meat on all sides with a fair amount of salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed stockpot, heat the olive oil over moderately high heat. Brown the meat on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Pour in the tomatoes and the water. Tuck the vegetables and herbs in around the meat. Cover the pot, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Braise for about 3 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices, until the beef is fork tender.

Remove the pot roast from the pan, allowing it to cool for a few minutes. Slice the pot roast and arrange on a platter surrounded by the vegetables, keeping enough aside to puree or shred for your child. Serve with the juices from the pot.

If you’re serving the meat the next day, allow the meat to cool, then cover and refrigerate. The next day, scrape off any fat that has risen to the surface and discard it before reheating over low heat.
