With pearl onions and wine, this succulent, tender stewed roast has a special holiday flair.

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg (14 g) dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 3 lb boneless beef blade pot roast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 10 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 2 cups fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and quartered (about 4 oz/125 g)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 pinch allspice
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 cup sodium-reduced beef broth
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 pkg (10 oz/284 g) pearl onions, peeled

Preparation

In bowl, pour 1 cup (250 mL) boiling water over dried mushrooms; let stand until softened, about 20 minutes. Strain, reserving liquid. Remove stems and discard. Slice caps; set aside.

Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper. In large Dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil over medium-high heat; brown roast all over. Transfer to plate.

Add remaining oil to pan; cook onions and garlic over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.

Add fresh shiitake mushrooms, soaked mushrooms, bay leaf and allspice; cook for 2 minutes. Add tomato paste; cook for 1 minute.

Add wine, broth and reserved mushroom liquid, stirring to scrape up any brown bits. Return beef and any accumulated juices to pan; bring to boil. Remove from heat. Cover and braise in 300°F (150°C) oven, basting every 30 minutes and turning once, for 2-1/2 hours.

Meanwhile, in skillet, melt butter over medium heat; cook pearl onions until tender and golden, about 10 minutes. Add to pot roast; cook, uncovered, until beef is fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Discard bay leaf.

Transfer roast to cutting board and slice across the grain. Serve with sauce.
