1 tablespoon(s) vegetable oil |
1 can(s) reduced-sodium beef broth |
1/2 cup(s) dry red wine |
1/2 cup(s) onion coarsely chopped |
1/2 teaspoon(s) dried marjoram crushed |
1/2 teaspoon(s) dried thyme crushed |

1 1/4 cup(s) winter squash peeled and cubed |
1 1/4 cup(s) parsnips peeled and cubed |
1 1/4 cup(s) sweet potatoes peeled and cubed |
2 tablespoon(s) cold water |
1 tablespoon(s) cornstarch |
Directions:
1. ONE - Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Trim fat from meat. Sprinkle meat lightly with salt and pepper. In a 4- to 6-quart Dutch oven, brown meat on all sides in hot oil for 5 minutes, turning to brown evenly. Drain off fat. Carefully pour broth over meat. Add wine, if using. Add onion, marjoram, thyme and garlic. Bake, covered, for 2 hours.
2. TWO - Add vegetables. Cover and bake for 30 to 40 minutes more or until tender. Transfer meat and vegetables to a serving platter; reserve cooking liquid in Dutch oven. Cover platter with foil to keep warm.
3. THREE - For the gravy, strain juices into a glass measuring cup. Skim fat from juices; return 1-1/4 cups of the juices to Dutch oven. (Discard remaining juices.) In a small bowl stir together the cold water and cornstarch. Stir into juices in Dutch oven. Cook and stir until thickened. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Slice meat. Spoon some of the gravy over meat and vegetables. Pass remaining gravy.
