Time 3h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 4-pound piece of beef
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 envelope dried onion soup mix
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups red wine (plus!)
2 cups water (plus!)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 teaspoons fresh)
1 teaspoon dried basil (or 2 teaspoons fresh)

Steps:

  • Ephron tells you to put her basic ingredients in a large good pot and bake them at 350 until the meat is tender, 3-1/2 hours or so.
  • Tend to put them in a large Dutch oven on the stove top, add the tomatoes and chipotle plus a little more wine and water so that the pot roast is almost covered, and simmer them all day over low heat.
  • In the last couple of hoursadd the carrots and potatoes. Add half of the parsley before the last half hour of cooking and use the rest as a garnish.

LILLIAN HELMAN'S POT ROAST

I came across this recipe while reading Nora Ephron's hysterical book, Heartburn. It's peppered with recipes throughout. This one sounds rather strange, as you just dump it all in a pot and shove it in the oven. I was amazed and delighted when it turned out to be delicious. Not my mainstay pot roast, but one I cook when short on prep time, or in the mood for something different. Doesn't get any easier than this! It makes great sandwiches the next day.
