Q: I would love to have the recipe for the pot roast at Atlantic Star in Decatur.
-- Lisa Kennedy, Atlanta

A: This hearty one-pot meal is perfect for a Sunday dinner. Loaded with carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, garlic and thyme, it is no wonder it caught Kennedy's attention.

Hands on time: 30 minutes  Total time: 2 hours and 30 minutes  Serves: 4

Ingredients:

    1/4 cup olive oil
    2 1-pound beef roasts (or one 2-pound roast cut in half)
    3 carrots, peeled and cut into large pieces
    3 celery ribs, cut into large pieces
    1 large yellow onion, cut into large pieces
    2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces
    1/4 cup whole garlic
    2 large tomatoes, chopped
    2-3 cups low-sodium beef broth
    1 teaspoon fresh thyme, de-stemmed and chopped
    Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

In a large braising pan on medium-high heat, add oil. Add the beef roasts and brown on all sides. Remove the roasts from the pan and set aside.
Add carrots, celery, onion, potatoes and garlic to the pan and saute until lightly brown, then remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
Return the beef roasts to the pan, add tomatoes, beef stock and thyme, cover and cook on low heat for one hour. Add reserved vegetables and cook an additional 30 minutes (add a little more broth if needed). Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 20 minutes. Season to taste and serve.
