Ingredients
Method
Cut parsnips and carrots in half lengthwise; cut into 2-inch (5 cm) long pieces. Quarter turnips. Set aside.In large bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper; dredge roast in flour mixture. In Dutch oven, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; brown roast all over. Transfer to plate.
Add remaining oil to pan; cook onion and garlic over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add broth, scraping up any brown bits. Add tomatoes, parsnips, carrots, turnips, marjoram and bay leaves.
Return beef and any accumulated juices to pan; bring to simmer. Cover and braise in 300°F (150°C) oven, basting every 30 minutes and turning once, for 2-1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, in skillet, melt butter over medium heat; cook pearl onions until tender and golden, about 10 minutes. Add to pot roast; cook, uncovered, until beef is tender, about 30 minutes. Discard bay leaves.
Transfer roast to cutting board and tent with foil; let stand for 10 minutes before thinly slicing across the grain. Serve with vegetables and sauce.
