Williams Sonoma Braising Sauce, Tuscan Beef Pot Roast

Summary

FLAVOR PROFILE

• Beef stock, red wine, mushrooms, carrots, onions, fragrant Italian herbs

WHY WE LOVE IT

• Generations of Tuscan cooks have turned to their gardens for fresh vegetables and herbs to enhance homemade beef braises. Inspired by this tradition, our slow-simmered sauce features beef stock, mushrooms, carrots and onions with aromatic rosemary, oregano and thyme. A splash of red wine adds rich, hearty flavor. For a quick and easy meal, just combine the time-saving sauce with seared beef, then finish it in the oven or slow cooker.
