This is a fav of my husbands at a local resturant...He was skeptical of making it at home, but once he tried it, he said this recipe was better then the restaurant version. He told me to definately put this in the "keeper" recipe file!

Fantastic pot roast. It can also be made in slow cooker for ease of preparation. Red wine can be replaced by pure organic apple juice or cider if desired. I like to cook mashed potatoes separated so clear broth isn't cloudy. Great however it's made!

This is a terriffic recipe and very easy. I've made it 4 times and perfection every time. I added a little more beef broth, just enough to cover the roast. I tried one reviewers suggestion of substituting red potatoes for the celery, result was a loss of flavor. I think it would be ok to add add potatoes if you really wanted, but the celery is needed to balance the flavor of the broth. Someone mentioned adding sugar, but I can't see that either as the carrots provide a very nice sweetness. Why try to fix something that already works?

I made a few changes to this recipe and it was superb! During the searing process, I placed the onions, garlic and a tablespoon of gravy master underneath the roast and then seared all sides. I substituted 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar (which acts as a natural meat tenderizer) during the searing process, for the wine and excluded the berries. Also, I added the fresh vegetables (baby carrots, sugar snap peas and new potatoes) about an hour before serving- anything earlier and they turned too mushy for my taste. I added fresh mushrooms to the mix and I used olive oil because it is the healthiest of all the oils. Very good I gave this 5 stars!

The best pot roast I've ever made! I used red potatoes instead of celery and doubled the carrots (and added them during the last 45 minutes). The suggestions to season the beef before browning and adding a little sugar to the broth were helpful. Used a flour roux instead of cornstarch to thicken.

I thought this was great! Much faster than putting it in a crockpot and just as tasty. I added bay leaves and dried onion flakes and I didn't add the veggies until the last 45min of cooking time - I thought they would be mush after a couple hours.

I really didn't enjoy the flavor of this. My husband thought it was ok, but not great (and he's not that picky). Probably just a matter of taste though.

This is outstanding! We loved this! My past experiences with beef, in general, have ranged from the laughable to the disasterous, but this recipe has changed all that. This is THE recipe that will benchmark my beef cookery. It was tender, flavorful, moist. I did season simply the flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder before dredging the beef; browned it in a cast iron skillet, added the wine (cabernet sauvignon), and let it simmer for maybe 10 minute or so before adding it all to my electric fry pan with the remaining ingredients. I tasted the broth, thought it lacked "a little something" and decided to add 1/2 tsp of sugar. That, for me, was the missing ingredient, and now the flavors were a melody upon the tongue, sweet, salty, tart. Linda, thank you SOOOO much for this submission. There shall be no other pot roast recipe for me. This one is it!

I browned the meat in a skillet and then transfered everything to a crock pot. After 3 hours, the beef still was not tender. The flavor was very good though and I will fix this roast again.
