Rustic Italian Pot Roast Perfection

• Return the roast to the pot, nestling it into the sauce.

• Bring to a gentle simmer, cover with a lid, and reduce heat to low.

• Simmer for 3–3½ hours, turning the meat halfway through, until fork-tender.

Oven option: Bake covered at 300°F (150°C) for the same time.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

🧄 Chef’s Tips

• Make it ahead: The flavor deepens after a day in the fridge — perfect for leftovers.
