New Old Fashioned Pot Roast Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 3 hours Servings: 6 Ingredients - 3 pounds chuck roast - 2 tablespoons oil or other fat - 1/2 cup dry red wine - 1 cup stock or water - 2 cloves garlic, chopped - 1 large onion, chopped - 1 pound potatoes, cut into large chunks - 1/2 pound carrots, in 1 inch pieces - salt and pepper    Although the ingredients are traditional, adding vegetables after the meat is half done keeps their flavors and textures intact.   Directions Preheat oven to 350° F. Pat meat dry. Salt and pepper generously. Heat fat and brown meat (medium-high) about 5 - 8 minutes each side. Remove meat to a plate. Pour off all but a tablespoon or two of fat in the pan. Add wine and boil 2 - 3 minutes, stirring to dissolve any browned	1

After about 30 minutes, check to make sure the liquid is simmering, not boiling. Reduce heat if necessary. After an hour and a half in the oven, add potatoes, carrots and onion. Cover pan and return to oven until meat and vegetables are tender, 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Add more liquid (stock or water) at this point if it appears that more than half of the starting amount is gone. Remove meat and vegetables to a platter. Taste cooking liquid (if it's too thin, boil for a few minutes to desired consistency), correct the seasoning if necessary, then pour into a gravy boat or pitcher and pass with the roast.	2
