Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using a heavy hand, season rib-eye roast with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or a roasting pan. Place beef in hot pan and sear until deep golden brown on all sides. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast for about 15 minutes per pound for medium-rare, making an approximate hour of cooking time. Remove the pan from oven and transfer the beef to a cutting board. Allow meat to rest for at least 15 minutes, tented with foil, before carving.
- Gravy:
- Pour off excess fat from the Dutch oven (reserve for Thyme for Yorkshire Pudding, if desired) and place on the stovetop over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until soft and brown, about 4 to 6 minutes. Deglaze the pot with 1/2 cup of the wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Add remaining wine, bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add stock and simmer until reduced again by about half. Pass the gravy through a fine mesh sieve and return to the pan. Bring back to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until desired gravy consistency is reached. Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary. Carve beef against the grain, into thin slices, and serve with gravy.
SHEILA'S SAVORY POT ROAST AND VEGETABLES WITH GRAVY
This can be cooked in the oven or on the rangetop. It is even more flavorful if made a day ahead, and the fat is easier to lift off the pan juices if it's cold. I usually reheat it while making some potato pancakes.

SHERRY'S INFAMOUS 4 HOUR CHUCK ROAST WITH VEGGIES
I learned this recipe from an old friend's mother about 15 years ago. I was over for supper one night and this is what she made. I fell in love with the recipe and had to have it. I have put my own spin on things to perfect this basic winter recipe. (Unfortunately for me, I recently became a vegan...but my family eats it up!) It's delicious!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Start with olive oil in the dutch oven on medium heat. Salt and pepper both sides of meat. Once oil starts to ribbon, sear meat on both sides-about 3-4 minutes each side and remove to a plate to rest. In same pot, cook carrots over medium heat until they begin to brown and are just fork tender. Remove carrots to bowl. Replace meat to pot and cover with cold water-just enough to cover the top. Add bullion, rosemary, and bay leaf and cover. Place in 350 degree oven for 3 hours. Remove from oven and add all veggies to the pot with the meat. Return pot to oven for remaining hour or until potatoes are cooked completely. Remove from oven and take lid off. Remove bay leaf.
- Most of the time I take the meat and veggies out to a bowl and make a gravy with the juice. (4 tablespoons water to 4 tablespoons flour-whisk until no lumps and add to juices over meduim flame until it thickens. Add salt and Pepper to taste.).
- Serve with crusty bread.

- Remove the beef from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
