A delicious French roast seared to perfection, creating a thick outer layer, ensuring the inside is soft and buttery. Cooked with a rich sauce made of red wine, tomato paste, and brown sugar, surrounded by peeled pearl onions.
1: Start by peeling all your pearl onions and preheat your oven to 300 F.
2: Dry your roast very well using a paper towel and mix garlic, black pepper, and salt in a mini bowl. Rub this mixture on your roast.
3: Heat a pan over high heat, add oil, and sear your roast on all sides until a thick crust forms. Set aside in a baking dish.
4: In the same hot pan, add wine to deglaze and then add tomato paste and brown sugar, mixing until you get a thick sauce.
5: Pour the sauce over the roast and add pearl onions all around.
6: Cover with a layer of parchment paper and foil, then bake for 4.5-5 hours, until fork tender.
7: Let the roast come to room temperature before removing from the sauce and slicing into thick medallions.
