Ingredients

4 to 5 pound chuck roast

2 Tbs vegetable oil

2 onions thinly sliced

2 bay leaves

1 tsp cinnamon

2 Tbs ground ginger

2 Tbs sugar

1 Tbs cider vinegar

1 28oz can packed tomatoes with juice

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown chuck roast on all sides in vegetable oil, about 15 minutes in a cast iron dutch oven. Cover roast with all other ingredients. Place dutch oven in preheated oven and roast for about 3 hours. Roast will be very tender and juicy. (If you don’t have a cast iron dutch oven you may use any deep, covered roasting pan.)
