Fancy Yankee Pot Roast
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 -3 onions (sliced)
- 3 -4 lbs bottom round beef roast
- 1/2 cup flour (for dredging)
- 1 cup carrot (amount and type to suit your taste, I use baby carrots)
- 4 cups beef broth
- 3 cups wine (use your favorite, I use Riesling)
- 5 -6 fresh thyme sprigs
- ground salt & pepper (to taste)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- Heat olive oil in a large cast iron dutch oven, over medium heat.
- Saute onion until golden.
- Thoroughly dredge the beef in flour, covering all surfaces.
- Add to the pan and brown on all sides.
- Add the carrots, beef broth, wine, thyme, black pepper, and salt.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer until meat is falling apart tender, turning the meat occasionally (it took me about five hours).
- When meat is falling apart tender, remove it from the broth along with the thyme sprigs and veggies.
- Add cornstarch to water, stir until dissolved and add to broth stirring until thickened.
- Remove from heat.
- Enjoy.
