COUNTRY STYLE POT ROAST WITH GRAVY
Boneless chuck roast is essential in this recipe -- other cuts will cook up dry and tough. In most markets, you will have to order a large 5-1/2- to 6-pound chuck roast. Alternatively, use two 3-pound roasts (which are common in most markets).

Steps:
- Season roast liberally with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Brown roast thoroughly on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer browned roast to slow-cooker insert.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil to empty skillet, along with onions, celery, carrots, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to slow-cooker insert.
- Increase heat to high. Add red wine to empty skillet, scraping up any browned bits with wooden spoon, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and broth and bring to boil. Add pepper flakes, bay leaves, and thyme and transfer to slow-cooker insert.
- Set slow cooker to high, cover, and cook until tender, 6 to 7 hours. (Alternatively, cook on low for 9 to 10 hours.) Transfer roast to carving board; loosely tent with foil to keep warm. Discard bay leaves. Allow liquid in pot to settle, about 5 minutes, then use wide spoon to skim fat off surface. Puree liquid and solids in batches in blender or food processor. (Alternatively, use immersion blender and process until smooth.) Stir in parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Remove strings from roast and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Transfer meat to warmed serving platter. Pour about 1 cup gravy over meat. Serve, passing more gravy separately.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chuck roast in roasting pan and season with a dash of worcetershire sauce, a small sprinkling of onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper on both sides of meat. Place package of dry onion soup mix on top, add cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 can of water, chopped onions and garlic. Cover roasting pan tightly with foil and bake for about an hour and half until meat is almost tender but still somewhat firm. (Depending on the size of roast you have; you may need to cook a little longer than that.) After that, add the carrots that have been scrubbed with vegetable scrubber and cut into chunks or cut in half. Then add potatoes that have been peeled and cut into chunks. Cover tightly with foil again and cook for another 45 minutes or until carrots and potatoes are tender. Serve with hot rice and rolls. This dish makes it's own gravy for rice, or you may serve as is without rice.
