Directions

  1. Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. In a large ovenproof Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium high heat and brown the roast on all sides. Move to a plate.
  3. Add the onion to the pan, and cook until soft. Add the garlic and continue to cook further for a minute.
  4. Return the roast to the Dutch oven and add the thyme, tomatoes and red wine.
  5. Cover and place in the oven for 1-1/2 hours. Half way through the cooking time, turn the meat over.
  6. Add the carrots, parsnips, potatoes and half of the parsley. Cover and return to the oven for a further hour, or until the vegetables are very tender.
  7. Remove the roast to a plate. With a slotted spoon, remove the vegetables to a bowl. Cover to keep warm.
  8. Return the Dutch oven to the stove top and over medium-high heat, reduce the sauce slightly, stirring frequently and breaking the tomatoes up with a spoon.
  9. Remove the thyme sprigs and season sauce with salt and pepper.
  10. Slice the beef and place on a platter along with vegetables. Pour sauce over top and garnish with remaining parsley. Enjoy!

For thicker gravy-like sauce you can stir in 1 tbsp of flour that has been mixed with 2 tbsp of water in step 10.
