An old-fashioned pot roast recipe. Like any pot roast, this one tastes even better made ahead and reheated. Drizzle the pan juices over potatoes. I make a 1/2 recipe for the 2 of us and the leftovers make a fab hot beef sandwich! If meat is not well marbled, I suggest adding 3/4 cup of water or beef broth to the pan at the beginning.

How To Make braised beef and onions

  • 1
    Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
  • 2
    Pat meat dry. Stir together allspice, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and rub all over meat.
  • 3
    Spread half of onions and half of garlic in a 13- by 9-inch roasting pan and arrange meat on top. Spread remaining onions and garlic over meat. Tightly cover pan with foil and roast, turning meat over after 1 hour, until meat is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours total.
  • 4
    Skim fat from pan juices. Slice meat across the grain and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with onions and pan juices.

    note: Beef can be braised 2 days ahead. Cool meat in juices, uncovered, then slice and chill in juices, covered. Reheat, covered, in a 350°F oven 30 to 40 minutes.
