Cranberry Red Wine Pot Roast Print Recipe

Serves 8 • Ready in 4hr 20min

Ingredients:

  • 1 (4-5) Pound Chuck Roast
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. LeRoux Fresh Wild Rosemary Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion, diced
  • 6 Carrots, chopped
  • 12oz Baby Potatoes
  • 1 Cup Red Wine
  • 3 Cups Low-Sodium Beef Broth
  • 8oz Cremini Mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. LeRoux 18 Year Traditional Balsamic
  • 3 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • 1 Sprig Fresh Rosemary
  • 12oz Fresh Cranberries
  • 2 Tbsp. Honey

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  2. Season the chuck roast liberally with salt and pepper all over.
  3. Heat a large Dutch oven, over high heat. Add one tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion, carrots and potatoes and cook, stirring once or twice until the veggies are just slightly browned on the edges, about 5 minutes. Do not leave the veggies in there too long, you don't want them to become soft. Remove the veggies to a plate.
  4. Add another drizzle of oil and once hot, add the chuck roast and sear all over, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chuck roast from the pan.
  5. Carefully pour in the wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits off the bottom. Remove from the heat.
  6. Add the meat back to the pan and cover with the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and the balsamic. Throw in the mushrooms and browned veggies, thyme, rosemary, cranberries, and honey.
  7. Cover the pan and place in the oven. Roast for 3-4 hours or until the roast is cooked to your liking.
