Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 pound beef roast, sirloin, round, rump, cross rib cuts are all good
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large onion, cut in chunks
  • 28 ounce can whole tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef stock or consommé
  • 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce, more or less to taste
  • 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Trim the beef roast of excess fat. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in an oven safe pot. A Dutch oven works well. Brown the roast very well on all sides. Toss in the onions and garlic and cook until slightly browned.

  2. Add all the remaining ingredients to the pot, stir well. Cover and roast in a 350 degree oven for 2-2 ½ hours. Remove the roast and place the pot on the stovetop. If necessary boil the tomato braising liquid to reduce to a slightly thickened sauce.

  3. To serve, slice the beef and serve with the tomato thyme sauce spooned over the top. This recipe goes well with roasted potatoes, pasta, steamed rice, roasted vegetables or Parmesan Herb Popovers.
