Directions
- Cut slits into the beef chuck roast and insert the garlic clove slivers.
- Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and red pepper over the roast.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a stock pot over medium heat. Place the roast in the stock pot and brown all the sides.
- In a separate saucepan heat the oil over medium heat. Stir in the flour to form a roux. Constantly stir for about 8 to 10 minutes until the roux is the color of peanut butter. Make sure it does not burn. If it does burn start this step over.
- Add the yellow onion, bell pepper, celery, and green onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, red wine, and water.
- Stir in the Italian parsley, bay leaf, sugar, salt, and red pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Pour the sauce over the roast, cover, and simmer over medium heat for 2 to 3 hours or until the meat is fork tender.
- Occasionally move the meat around within the stockpot.
