Directions

Season both sides of roast with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat 1 minute. Add roast; cook 5 minutes on each side, or until browned on both sides. Remove from pan; cover to keep warm. Reduce heat to medium.
Add onion, carrot and celery to same pan; cook 5 minutes, or until onion is tender, stirring frequently. Add tomatoes with their liquid and broth; stir in all the browned bits from bottom of pan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Return roast to pan. Cover pan with lid; reduce heat to low.
Simmer 3 to 3-1/2 hours, or until roast is fork tender. Remove roast from pan; let stand 10 minutes before portioning.
Serve half of roast and sauce for this meal. Use the remaining roast to make Pulled Barbecue Beef Sandwiches and the remaining sauce to make Tuscan-style Penne Pasta.

"I have made this twice now. First time, I followed the recipe exactly, and it was really good. Second time, I made some additions. I added a bunch of minced garlic, dried oregano, and parsley. Als..." See moreo a liberal splash of worcestershire sauce and about 1/4 cup of beer. Excellent!"

"This was very good. However, I was lazy and just added all the ingredients into the crock pot and let it cook all day. I didn't do any of the browning. I served it over mashed potatoes. Even my youn..." See moregest, picky eater liked it. We didn't end up with enough to make the 3 meals. It was just enough for 1 meal for our family of 4. We had a few leftovers, but not enough to make pulled barbeque beef sandwiches. Probably could've made the penne pasta out of the leftover sauce, but forgot about it. The leftover sauce with meat scraps tasted good over bread for lunch the next day. The flavor is really good."

"Hubby said keep this recipe!!!!!! I needed a recipe for a chuck roast I had and I ran across this one and thought I'd give it a try since I had most of the ingredients in the house. I was out of carro..." See morets so didn't add them and I added 4 cloves of garlic (personal preference). The only other thing I did different was cook it at 250 in the oven all day after searing. I recommend this recipe to anyone wanting a yummy dinner that makes the house smell wonderful"
