Pot Roast With Garlic and Thyme
Diana Rattray
This easy braised oven pot roast is flavored with red wine, garlic,
and thyme. This all-in-one meal makes a great family dinner for any
night of the week.
Ingredients:
* 1 pot roast, about 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 pounds, chuck or other
suitable pot roast
* 5 medium cloves garlic, halved
* Salt and pepper
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
* 1 medium onion, quartered and sliced
* 4 ounces mushrooms, small whole or sliced, optional
* 3 tablespoons flour
* 1 1/2 cups red wine, such as pinot noir or cabernet
* 1 cup beef broth
* 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
* 2 pounds potatoes, cut in 2-inch chunks
Preparation:
With a small sharp knife, cut 8 to 10 deep slits in the pot roast,
spacing them evenly. Push half of a garlic clove into each cut. Heat
the oil in a braising pan or large sauté pan or Dutch oven over
medium-high heat.
Sear the roast, turning to brown all sides. Remove the roast from the
pan and set aside.
Add butter to the hot pan and reduce heat to medium. When butter is
foamy, add the onions and cook, stirring, until tender and lightly
browned. Add mushrooms, if using, and cook for 2 minutes longer. Stir
in flour and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute longer. Stir in wine
and beef broth. Continue cooking, stirring, until the liquids are
thickened and bubbly.
Heat oven to 325°.
Put the roast back in the pan and sprinkle with thyme. Cover with a
lid or foil and move to the oven. Cook for 2 hours. Add the potatoes,
cover, and continue cooking for 1 to 2 hours longer.
Serves 4 to 6.
