    List of Ingredients




    Garlic-Sage-Marinated Beef Pot Roast from Penny

    1 2- to 2 1/2-pound boneless beef chuck pot roast
    3/4 cup dry red wine or tomato juice
    2 tablespoons tomato paste
    1 tablespoon snipped fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
    2 teaspoons instant beef bouillon granules
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    10 cloves garlic, halved
    1 tablespoon cooking oil
    1 1/4 pounds whole tiny new potatoes or 4 medium potatoes
    4 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
    2 small onions, cut into wedges
    2 stalks celery, bias-sliced into 1-inch pieces
    1/2 cup cold water
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour

    Recipe



    1. Trim fat from roast; place meat in a heavy plastic bag set in a bowl.
    Combine the wine or tomato juice, tomato paste, sage, bouillon granules,
    pepper, and garlic. Pour over meat. Close bag and marinate in
    refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, turning occasionally. Remove meat from
    marinade, reserving marinade.

    2. In a kettle or pot, brown the roast on both sides in hot oil. Drain
    well. Pour reserved marinade over roast. Bring to boiling; reduce heat.
    Cover and simmer for 1 hour.

    3. Remove a narrow strip of peel from around the center of each new
    potato. (Or, peel and quarter each medium potato.) Add potatoes,
    carrots, onions, and celery to meat. Cover and simmer 45 to 60 minutes
    or until tender, adding some water if necessary. Transfer meat and
    vegetables to a serving platter; cover to keep warm while preparing
    gravy.

    4. For gravy, measure pan juices; skim fat. If necessary, add water to
    equal 1 3/4 cups liquid; return to pan. Combine the 1/2 cup cold water
    and the flour. Stir into juices. Cook and stir until bubbly. Cook and
    stir for 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with meat and
    vegetables. If desired, garnish with additional fresh sage. Makes 8
    servings.
