Red Wine and Rosemary Pot Roast
Beef pot roast is such a versatile dish. So many different flavours and cuts of meat lend themselves to this method. You can also use a bone-in roast, which will have a beefier flavour than a boneless one, but either will be tender and delicious.

Suggested Recipes
-
1 boneless pot roast (such as top blade), about 3 lb/1.5 kg
3/4 tsp (4 mL) each salt and pepper
2 tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 onions, quartered
1 cup (250 mL) each beef stock and tomato juice
1 cup (250 mL) dry red wine or beef stock
2 tsp (10 mL) crumbled dried rosemary
8 small red potatoes
8 carrots
2 large parsnips, cut in chunks
1 acorn squash, cut in wedges (or 2 cups/500 mL whole pattypan squash)
3 tbsp (50 mL) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp (25 mL) chopped fresh parsley
Preparation:
Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. In large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown beef all over. Transfer to plate.
Reduce heat to medium and drain off fat; cook garlic and onions, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add stock, tomato juice, wine and rosemary, stirring to scrape up brown bits.
Return beef and any accumulated juices to pan; bring to simmer. Cover and braise in 300°F (150°C) oven, basting every 30 minutes and turning once with 2 wooden spoons, until beef is tender, about 3 hours. Add potatoes, carrots, parsnips and squash to pan; cover and cook until vegetables are tender and beef is very tender, about 1 hour. With slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to platter; cover and keep warm.
Transfer beef to cutting board and tent with foil; let stand for 10 minutes. Cut string from beef and slice thinly across the grain; add to platter.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together flour and 1/4 cup (50 mL) cold water to make thin, smooth paste; whisk into pan juices. Place pan over high heat; boil, whisking, until gravy is thick enough to coat back of spoon, about 4 minutes. Stir in parsley. Serve sauce and vegetables with sliced beef.
