Total Time: 8 hrs 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 8 hrs

Ingredients

• 1 chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• fresh ground pepper
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups low sodium beef broth
• 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup red wine
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package onion soup mix
• 1 sweet onion
• 4 -6 carrots
• 3 -4 potatoes
• horseradish sauce, if desired

Recipe

• 1 assemble all ingredients except carrots, potatoes and horseradish. be sure to use a good wine that you would drink.
• 2 mince garlic and chop onion into quarters. choose a pan that is large enough for roast to lie flat and that has a tight fitting lid.
• 3 pat meat dry and lightly sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. rub flour into meat. (if using regular table salt, use even less.).
• 4 sear in oil over medium-high heat until browned on all edges.
• 5 add remaining ingredients except the carrots, potatoes and horseradish. if not enough liquid to cover roast, add water (or more wine).
• 6 cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low (more than simmer) and cook for 8 hours, or until the whole roast is falling apart.
• 7 the secret to tender pot roast is to cook it long enough, so if it's not tender yet, that means it's not done yet.
• 8 if you don't have enough liquid to cover the roast, you'll have to flip the roast over every hour or so.
• 9 add carrots and potatoes the last hour. peel them and chop to desired size.
• 10 serve with horseradish sauce and au jus (broth from pan).
