My go to recipe once a year. I have made this 3 times now. I always have trouble finding this specific recipe online, so I decided to let you know how amazing this dish is! Thank you!
I made this tonight for dinner and it is a definite keeper. I doubt I will ever make pot roast any other way again.
I did not have the dried mushrooms but I used extra fresh ones and it was delicious! The wine I used was Baco Noir which was great and paired nicely with both the beef and the mushrooms.
I also made a gravy from the liquid and it was awesome. We had company for dinner and I got a lot of compliments.
Thank you for such a great recipe.
Glad you like it!
This is a fantastic recipe!! The world is going crazy right now with the quarantining so I wanted something comforting. I’m trying to quit picking at it before meal time. Beef roast have always been meh, it’s ok, but this is tender and moist!
Glad you liked it!
I’ve made this roast twice now and the second time my daughter came for dinner and gave me the nicest compliment that thus is one of the best pot roasts that I’ve ever made. Thank you for sharing!!!!
Glad you like it!
You said pre heat on 275… do you increase the heat when you bake it for an hr per pound?
No, the temperature remains at 275 for the entire cook time.
Made this twice, once with thyme because I didn’t have oregano, and both times with extra mushrooms. A relatively simple but hearty meal. Great with mashed potatoes or creamy cauliflower. May try adding pearl onions next time.
Delicious! I will definitely be making this again. I added Red Wine Vinegar instead of red wine and it was great! Thanks again.
Is there a substitute for red wine i so not have any on hand ?
