I needed to make a pot roast that would be good for my husband, Q, while he is currently dieting and wants no added sugar or carbs. This is what I came up with for the package of chuck roast I bought from Costco. It is so delicious. I will say that the wine smell turned off my kids from wanting to try it, but they still liked it.
5 lb (ish) chuck roast
1 cup red wine
1 1/2 cup water
3 Tbsp Better than Broth Vegetable base
2 small onions chopped
2 pounds of chopped carrots or baby carrots
Fresh green beans
1 small can tomato paste
2-3 Tbsp Worcestshire sauce
1 Tbsp (ish) Balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons various spices (I went Italian)
1 tsp or so of pepper
Barely brown the chuck roast (I had two pieces in one package from Costco) on all sides in olive oil and cook onions briefly to pick up. Place onions and carrots on bottom of crock pot. Place chuck roast on top of the onions and carrots. Place as many green beans as fit in crock pot. Mix next 7 ingredients and pour on top. Cook on high for 4 hours. Turn to low and stir so the green beans are immersed in the liquid and cook another 2-3 hours.
