Braised Italian Cross Rib Roast Recipe

This Braised Italian Cross Rib Roast is a very tasty dish that is great for the Fall season.  It was so much fun to make and just excellent tasting, as the peppers really give the sauce flavor.  If you still have fresh tomatoes in your garden to use up, just peel, chop, and add to the marinara sauce.

Braising means to cook meat by browning in fat, then simmering in a small quantity of liquid in a cover container.  The meat is cooked until very tender.  This method of cooking meat is used for less tender cuts of meat.
