This is a roast my grandma used to make every Sunday. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does! Ingredients:
1 large chuck roast, with lots of marbling |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 sweet onions, chopped |
1 (20 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
2 teaspoons chopped garlic (about 2 cloves, to taste) |
1/4 lb parmesan cheese, cut into cubes |
Directions:
1. Dry the roast on both sides and sprinkle with salt and fresh ground pepper.
2. Heat oil in 5 qt dutch over (the kind that you can use on top of the stove-cast iron or la crueset is best).
3. Brown chuck on both sides.
4. With a sharp knife, slit tiny pockets on the top of the roast and stuff with parmesan cheese chunks.
5. Pour the tomatoes and onions over the top of the roast.
6. Add garlic, cover the pan and simmer over low heat for about 2 hours, or until fork tender (alternately you can place it in a crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours).
7. Serve with mashed potatoes or pasta.
