Ingredients
- 1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
- 1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) boneless beef chuck roast, tied with a string
- 1 head garlic, separated into cloves, left unpeeled
Steps
- Heat oven to 300°F (150°C). Coarsely chop tomatoes with their juice in a food processor or go at them in their can with kitchen scissors to break them up.
- Put roast in an ovenproof 4- to 5-quart heavy pot or a casserole dish with a lid — a tight fit is just fine, as it will shrink very soon. Pour tomatoes over roast and scatter garlic around it. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Braise in middle of oven, covered, until very tender, 3 to 4 hours.
- Cut roast into 1/4-inch-thick slices and serve with sauce.
