Instructions

1
Season meat on all sides generously with salt and pepper.
2
Heat a high-sided heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add in the olive oil.
3
Add meat to the hot pot and brown on all sides, turning as necessary, about 6 minutes. Remove the beef to a plate and lower the heat to medium-low.
4
Add onion into the pan and sautÈ for 8 minutes until golden. Add garlic and sautÈ for 1 minute. Return the beef and it's juices to the pan.
5
Add the wine, vinegar, stock, sugar, and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and break the tomatoes up with a spoon.
6
Cover and simmer for 3 to 4 hours, turning the roast every hour. The meat is done when it shreds easily with a fork.
7
Remove beef from the pot to a sheet pan and shred into chunks. Discard any fat or connective tissue. Return the beef to the pot. Serve the beef, and its juices over the mashed potatoes.
8
9
Cover potatoes by 4 inches with cold water in a pot and bring to a boil.
10
Reduce slightly, continuing to boil; boil for 20 minutes or until potatoes have no resistance when poked with a fork. Drain and return to the pot.
11
Mash potatoes with a masher, adding in the cream and horseradish during the mashing. We like the potatoes somewhat lumpy for this dish. Season with salt and pepper; adjust seasoning to taste and serve the potatoes with the beef.
