Ingredients

  • Vegetables:
  • 1 dozen new white potatoes-cut up
  • 1 small bag of baby carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper-sliced
  • 4 stalks of celery-cut into inch pieces
  • sliced mushrooms (canned or fresh)
  • Sauce:
  • Whisk together in large sauce pan, and heat:
  • 1 sm. can tomato sauce
  • 1 pkg au jous gravy mix
  • 1 cup red wine, or more
  • 1/2 bottle of Bordelaise Marinade/gravy sauce (optional)
  • 1-cup strong coffee (use instant if you have it)
  • 1 can Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup (optional-if you do not have Bordelaise sauce)
  • Add water if you want a more mild gravy

Method

  • Saute:
  • 1/4 red onion - thinly sliced or chopped
  • 1/4 yellow onion - thinly sliced or chopped
  • parsley
  • garlic
  • pinch of fresh Italian herbs - sage, oregano, thyme, rosemary
  • Directions:
  • Season roast with salt and pepper (rub it in), or I use Molly Stone's Santa Maria seasoning.
  • Sear on all sides on high heat, in a large roasting pot with olive oil to cover bottom. Pour a little red wine over meat after it is completely sealed. This will loosen any of the pan drippings.
  • Remove meat-set aside on plate.
  • Add onion, garlic, and fresh herbs to pan. You may want to add a little butter to the sauce left at the bottom of pan from meat. Saute for about one minute, and return meat to pan.
  • Add Vegetables and Sauce
  • Cover roasting pot and put in 350° oven for 2 - 3 hours.
