DUTCH OVEN LONDON BROIL POT ROAST

DUTCH OVEN LONDON BROIL POT ROAST

A pot roast should be a meal of convenience as much as flavor. A Dutch oven is the perfect vessel for searing and braising because you can go from the stovetop to the oven without dirtying another dish. This one pot meal is loaded with savory layers of flavor thanks to a beef broth-based braising liquid. Red wine and tomato paste lend just the right amount of acidity and sweetness. The sauce is so good, you can quickly thicken it and use it as a gravy with a mixture of equal parts cornstarch and water (a slurry).
