    This is a delicious recipe. I made the mistake of simmering it the next day instead of just reheating., It was seasoned perfectly, but go too salty with additional simmering. Lovely flavors and melt in your mouth beef.

    My chuck roast was just 2 lbs and there was a lot of vegetable/sauce flavor relative to meat, so I just added 2 Tbsp olive brine. Next time I'd use more meat if I had it. Quite tasty served with rice and black beans. Leftovers were even better, so make ahead if possible.

    I was worried about the amount of added yellow mustard when this went into the oven, but it turned out great. The raisins add a sweetness and the olives brininess is tamed in the oven. I used yellow and red peppers instead of green and served this with the black bean recipe in this book. I would make this again.

    Very good hands-off dinner recipe. Trust that while the mix of things looks very strange in the pot when it goes into the oven, they all meld together. My 3lb roast took 3 hours, 30 minutes. Served over rice. Reheats very well.
