Our Favorite Recipes: French Onion Pot Roast

Pot roast has got to be one of the coziest dinners for a chilly winter night. And this French Onion Pot Roast recipe kicks up the delicious factor one more level!

French Onion Pot Roast
Ingredients:

3 lbs chuck roast
3 large yellow onions, sliced
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 cup dry red wine (e.g., Cabernet Sauvignon)
4 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
2 bay leaves
2 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste

French Onion Post Roast Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat; sear the roast on all sides for 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, melt butter and add sliced onions. Sauté until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Add beef broth and red wine to the pot, scraping any browned bits off the bottom. Stir in thyme and bay leaves.
Nestle the seared roast back into the pot, spooning some broth over it. Cover tightly.
Transfer to the oven and cook for approximately 3 hours, until fork-tender.
Let rest before slicing or shredding; serve hot over mashed potatoes or with crusty bread.
