Time 3h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (or white salt)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (4 lb) chuck roast
4 -6 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
1 -2 teaspoon dryed chili flakes (optional or to taste)
2 -3 teaspoons dried thyme
2 (16 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
2 cups dry red wine (can use more than 2 cups)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper
2 lbs small red potatoes
2 medium red bell peppers, cut into strips
1 large zucchini, chopped into about 1-inch pieces
3/4 lb button mushroom
chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix the flour with seasoning salt and pepper, then lightly coat the roast in the flour (reserve any remaining flour).
  • In a Dutch oven heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add in the roast and brown on all sides (this should take about 15 minutes).
  • Remove the roast to a plate and add in onions, garlic, chili flakes (if using) and thyme; saute until the onions begin to brown (about 5 minutes).
  • Add in the reserved flour mixture and stir until the fat absorbs the flour.
  • Add in crushed tomatoes, red wine, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaf; bring to a boil, then cover with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Season sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce the heat to low or medium low and simmer for about 2 hours (turning the roast occasionally, if you are simmering on low heat then you might have to cook the roast longer).
  • When the roast has cooked for the 2 hours, add in potatoes, bell peppers, and whole mushrooms.
  • Cover and simmer for another 30-35 minutes.
  • Add in zucchini and cook the last 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving.
  • Delicious!
