Perfect pot roast recipe

 4 lbs Meridian Grass-Fed Chuck Roast
 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 2 Whole Onions, quartered
 6 Whole Carrots, peeled and cut into 2" chunks
 3 Potatoes, cut into large chunks
 1 cup Red Wine (can substitute with apple juice)
 3 cups Beef Broth
 2 Fresh Thyme
 3 Fresh Rosemary
Gravy
 3 tbsp Corn Starch
 ½ cup Water
1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

2

Salt and pepper the roast to your taste preference - we recommend seasoning the roast well or have it pre-seasoned at the store with our Meridian seasoning blend (which is perfect for pot roast!)

3

Add olive oil to pan and sear all sides of the roast until nicely browned (this step can be skipped but does give the roast a great flavour).

4

Add roast then all vegetables, broth and wine to large baking dish. Make sure roast is covered at least half with liquid. Add fresh herbs.

5

Put the lid on the baking dish roast for approx 3.5 hours until it is fall-apart tender.

6

When the roast is finished remove from oven and take out the vegetables and roast and place in the oven at 200 degrees F to keep warm.

7

Pour the remaining liquid in to a pot on the stove and bring to a boil over medium heat. Whisk together 1/2 cup water with corn starch stirring til smooth, add to boiling pot and cook until gravy has thickened, approx 5 minutes.

8

Serve hot gravy with the roast and vegetables.
