"I was looking for a Pot Roast recipe and came upon this one. I was a little skeptical, with some of the ingredients...mainly the rosemary...because I am not a huge rosemary fan, but i figured I would give it a try. I, like some of the other reviewers, replaced the water with 1/2 cup red wine (Cabernet and 1/2 cup beef broth. I also added some carrot, celery, onion and garlic to the cooking liquid along with a little crushed red pepper. I cooked my almost 5lb roast on the stovetop for approximately 3 hours and I could not be happier!!!! The meat was tender and delicious! My husband raved about it as well as my 3 1/2 year old son. This is definitely a recipe that I am going to refer back to time and time again!!!
