Hi Edith,

Thanks for the cooking lesson. This recipe is from Cristina’s cookbook and what she named her recipe. It’s an amazing recipe! Thanks for visiting my site.

The recipe over all does sound good but it is far from roast beef. It’s a pot roast . There’s a big difference and if you are trying to teach people how to cook the correct terms should be used. Roasting uses no liquid and calls for a better grade of meat that is already tender and roasted for a shorter time., pot roasting is actually braising in liquid for a long time to tenderize the meat. It’s a good way to use the less expensive cuts of meat and still get a beef dinner.

Hi Karen,

You know what I don’t know. Cristina’s recipe calls for it and I have made this recipe many times and I LOVE it. Maybe to cut the wine and the potential salitness. Have no idea, I’m sorry I’m no help!

[…] out, I had to give it a spin! I love my Le Creuset oven for frying, for boiling, for steaming for simmering, for braising and even for roasting and […]
