Classic Pot Roast

Directions

1. 1

   Cook it in the oven, Instant Pot, or slow cooker!

2. 2

   Start by seasoning the beef well, on all sides with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   In a dutch oven or heavy pot, heat oil. Brown roast on all sides to lock in moisture and flavor (about 15-min). Transfer to a plate.

4. 4

   To the grease left in the pot, add in onions and garlic and saute until onions are translucent (about 2-3 minutes). Then stir in the tomato paste, then flour. At this point the flour will absorb all the oil/ moisture. Add the wine, stir and allow the wine to reduce (1-2 minutes). Add beef broth, a few sprigs of fresh Fresh sage and bay leaves.

5. 5

   Transfer the beef back to the pot. Add carrots and potatoes around the beef in the pot. Cover and cook in the oven at 350F (175 C) degrees for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

6. 6

   When done, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve.
