Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3-pound) boneless beef chuck roast
10 cloves garlic, peeled and halved lengthwise
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup peeled and chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
Red wine (optional)

Steps:

  • Using the tip of a sharp paring knife, make 20 small evenly spaced slits about 1 1/2 inches deep all over the pot roast. Using your fingers, insert the garlic cloves as deep into the slits as possible. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a Dutch-oven, heat oil over high heat. Carefully add meat and sear on all sides until very well browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Add onion, carrots, celery, and 2/3 cup water. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low; cook until roast is very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours, turning 2 to 3 times. Add more water or wine, if desired, as needed so that there is always a little liquid in bottom of Dutch-oven. If done in the oven, the temperature should be 300 degrees, and the roast should cook for 3 to 3 1/2 hours until tender.
  • Transfer meat to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Slice meat and serve drizzled with pan juices.

This recipe was a disaster! The pot roast was tough and dry, and the vegetables were mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The pot roast was tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. However, I found the garlic flavor to be a bit overpowering. Next time, I would use less garlic.

This recipe was easy to follow and the pot roast turned out great! The garlic flavor was subtle but still noticeable. The meat was tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of pot roast, but this recipe changed my mind. The garlic flavor was amazing, and the meat was so juicy and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who loves garlic.

This pot roast was a huge hit with my family! The garlic flavor was perfect, and the meat was so tender it fell apart when we tried to slice it. I will definitely be making this again.
