Pot Roast

Ingredients:

  • 3 ½ pound Davidson Family Farms chuck roast

  • Salt and pepper

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1 onion chopped

  • 1 carrot chopped

  • 1 stalk celery chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tsp sugar

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 cup beef broth

  • Fresh thyme sprig

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.  Thoroughly pat roast dry with paper towels and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat.  Brown roast on both sides…about 4-5 minutes on each side to get a rich brown sear on the meat.  Transfer meat to a plate and set aside.  Reduce heat to medium.  Add onion, carrot, and celery to pot and cook, stirring often till beginning to brown…about 6 minutes.  Add garlic and sugar; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.  Add chicken and beef broths and thyme, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any brown bits.  Return the roast to the pot and add enough water to come halfway up sides of roast.  Bring liquid to a simmer over medium heat, then place a piece of foil over pot and cover tightly with a lid.  Place pot in oven and cook for 3 ½ to 4 hours.  The roast will be falling apart tender.  Mashed potatoes are a great accompaniment to pot roast.
