Notes

This Tuscan Beef Roast is perfect for family gatherings and can be made ahead for convenience. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently and consider adding a splash of broth or water to keep the sauce moist. For a more sophisticated flavor, deglaze the pot with red wine after browning the beef. Feel free to add different vegetables like zucchini or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition, and adjust seasoning as needed during cooking.
