  • 2 Sprigs fresh rosemary⁣
  • Salt and pepper to taste⁣

Instructions

  1. PREHEAT oven to 300.⁣ REMOVE the roast from the fridge and let it come towards room temp while you prep the other ingredients. ⁣
  2. CHOP up the veggies.⁣ GENEROUSLY salt and pepper the roast all over. ⁣
  3. HEAT up a heavy-bottom Dutch oven over medium high heat, add oil.⁣ CAREFULLY place the roast in the hot oil. Hot oil splatter is not fun. ⁣
  4. SEAR the meat, approximately ~ 2 minutes on each side, remove it to a plate.⁣ ADD broth to deglaze the pan, and using a wooden spoon move any of the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. ⁣
  5. ADD the veggie, herbs, garlic, and canned tomato to the Dutch oven.⁣ PLACE the seared roast in with the veggies and stock.
  6. COVER and cook for 3 1/2- 4 ****in the oven. hours ensuring meat is covered in liquid – this will make sure it is tender!
