Italian Chuck Roast Straccato with Gorgonzola Polenta

Recipe by Carol Borchardt from her website “From A Chef’s Kitchen”:
“Italian Pot Roast, also called Stracotto is slightly different from a traditional pot roast. Stracotto starts with a soffritto base of finely chopped onions, carrots and celery rather than the vegetables being large and chunky like a traditional American-style pot roast.
Also called Stracotto di Manzo, the name translates to “overcooked” and manzo roughly translates to “beef” or “steer.” The braising liquid for Stracotto is more tomatoey and winey than a traditional pot roast”
