Gluten Free Pot Roast

This is a deeply satisfying braise built for the oven: a well-seared chuck roast, browned until it forms a mahogany crust, then simmered low and slow with red wine, beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaf until it turns fork-tender. Carrots, parsnips, and baby potatoes go in partway through, soaking up all that rich, savory braising liquid as everything finishes cooking together. By the time it comes out of the oven, the meat pulls apart easily and the vegetables are perfectly tender, no additional fuss required. A scatter of sliced scallions and fresh parsley at the end brightens the whole platter. This is a genuinely solid choice for a gluten free table, since the comforting, cold-weather flavor comes through in every spoonful of gravy-like sauce. Serve it straight from the platter with extra juices spooned over top for a hearty, no-frills dinner that feels like a special occasion.
