Grandmas Italian Pot Roast
- 1 large chuck roast, with lots of marbling
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 sweet onions, chopped
- 1 (20 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons chopped garlic (about 2 cloves, to taste)
- 14 lb parmesan cheese, cut into cubes
- Dry the roast on both sides and sprinkle with salt and fresh ground pepper.
- Heat oil in 5 qt dutch over (the kind that you can use on top of the stove-cast iron or la crueset is best).
- Brown chuck on both sides.
- With a sharp knife, slit tiny pockets on the top of the roast and stuff with parmesan cheese chunks.
- Pour the tomatoes and onions over the top of the roast.
- Add garlic, cover the pan and simmer over low heat for about 2 hours, or until fork tender (alternately you can place it in a crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours).
- Serve with mashed potatoes or pasta.
