🍖 Italian-Style Pot Roast Recipe 🇮🇹

2️⃣ Sauté the Aromatics

1. In the same pot, add onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

3️⃣ Build the Sauce

1. Add tomato paste and stir for 1 minute to deepen the flavor.
2. Pour in red wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up the browned bits.
3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, beef broth, oregano, basil, rosemary, and red pepper flakes.

4️⃣ Slow Simmer

1. Return the seared beef to the pot and spoon some sauce over it.
2. Cover and simmer on low heat for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
3. In the last 30 minutes, add olives (if using) for extra Italian flair.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!

1. Remove the roast and slice or shred it.
2. Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, or polenta, and drizzle with the rich sauce.
