  • 2 onions, cut into large chunks
  • 2 carrots sliced into 1" pcs.
  • 2-3 stalks celery sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 tbl. olive oil or vegatble oil
  • 2 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 2 bay leaves
  • salt/pepper to taste
  • 1 14.5 ounce diced tomatoes (Hunts is by far the best)

  3. Brown in hot oil on all sides in a dutch oven untill nice and brown
  4. Take roast out, add chopped veggies and garlic and saute for a few minutes to get them kick started, add 1/2 cup - 1 cup water and deglaze pan alittle (beef broth is good here if you have it)
  5. Add roast back in pan and add spices, alittle more salt/pepper, tomatoes and water just to cover the top of the roast( again this is where beef broth is great, not the end of the world, water is fine, some like a cup of red wine as well, but the tomatoes really give it a rich flavor)
  6. Cover and cook for about 3 hrs at 350
  7. Add some cut up potatoes and couple of more sliced carrots
  8. Cover and cook another 45min. - 1hr. until meat and potatoes are tender.
