Ingredients
  • 2 ½ - 3 LB. Boneless beef chuck shoulder pot roast.
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 cups water
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 medium sized onion halved and sliced in fairly thick slices
  • ¼ cup pitted Italian prunes in syrup. Save the syrup
  • (Note: I use the small 8.5 oz. size) You can also use chopped dates.
  • Salt, pepper to taste
  • Add other seasonings if you wish, I just kept it simple..

Directions
  1. NOTE: You can also slow cook it on top of the stove covered with a tight fitting lid like I did or....
  2. Heat oven to 325 degrees
  3. Heat the olive oil until hot in a deep oven proof skillet.
  4. Flour the roast and fry in the oil until nicely browned on both sides
  5. Remove the roast and add the water and the vinegar, scraping the brown bits loose from the bottom of the skillet.
  6. Place the roast back into the skillet with the onions and prunes and about 4 oz. of the syrup from the prunes. Add salt, pepper and seasonings
  7. Cover tightly and cook for about 3 hours or until the roast is fork tender.
  8. Remove the roast and keep it warm.
  9. Over med/high heat the sauce until it reaches a consistency you like…if it is already too thick just add a little water.
  10. Carve the roast and serve with the sauce.
