Soft and Savory Chuck Roast

The slow treatment of this meat makes it incredibly soft and tender. If the fork does not go through the meat easily, leave it in, tightly covered, till fork tender.

Ingredients

Meat

• 2- to 3-pound (1- to 1- and- 1/2-kilogram) chuck roast
• 1 tablespoon Pereg Paprika
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon Gefen Garlic Powder

Sauce

• 3 tablespoons cooking wine such as Alfasi Cabernet Sauvignon
• 3 tablespoons Glicks Soy Sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Gefen BBQ Sauce (or try Rorie’s low-carb sugar-free BBQ sauce to keep this recipe low in sugar)
• 2–3 carrots
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2–3 stalks celery
• 2–3 bay leaves (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2. Place meat in heavy-bottomed baking dish. Season with spices.
3. In a small bowl, mix ingredients for the sauce. Pour over meat. Cover baking dish tightly.
4. Bake for about three to three and a half hours, depending on the size of the roast. Check for doneness with a fork — it should slide in and out very easily, and the meat should be tender to the touch.
