Elegant Pot-Roast

Elegant Pot Roast of Beef

I marinated this beef roast for two days in Burgundy wine. Then I patted the beef dry, dusted it with salt, pepper and flour, then in a hot, buttered Dutch oven, browned the meat. I added herbes de Provence, summer savoury, chopped onion, celery, carrots and new potatoes, then doused the lot with the marinade. After simmering the pot for an hour, I added more wine to it. After two hours of cooking on low heat, I had an elegant pot roast with nutritious, attractive vegetables. My photo shows it in the pre-simmering stage. Cooking with wine will usually soften the toughest cuts of meat, an important tip for these days of austerity. ©M-J de Mesterton
