POT ROAST (THE SILVER PALATE)

Steps:

• Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 2. Rub the rolled-up roast with one teaspoon of the ground black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or other heavy, deep pot and sear the beef on all sides for several minutes over medium-high heat until it is well-browned all over. 3. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of the stock plus the wine. Next add parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper and the whole cloves. Stir in the other ingredients. If the liquid doesn't cover the vegetables, add more stock until it just does. Continue to heat it on the stovetop until it simmers, then cover and bake in the center of the oven for 2 1/2 hours. 4. Uncover, turn the roast over, and cook for another 1 1/2 hours (without the lid) or until the beef is tender. 5. When done, slice the roast on a cutting board and arrange on a deep serving platter with the vegetables. Drizzle with some of the sauce, and serve the extra sauce in a bowl or gravy boat.
