Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Season the Roast generously with salt and pepper.
In a large Dutch oven or pot, brown the Roast on all sides over medium-high heat.
Remove the Roast and set aside. Add the Onion and Garlic to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Combine all Sauce ingredients in the pot and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Return the Roast to the pot. Add the Carrots and Potatoes. Ensure the Roast is mostly submerged in liquid; add more Beef Broth if needed.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 3-4 hours, or until the Roast is fork-tender.
Remove the Roast and vegetables from the pot. Let the Roast rest for 10 minutes before shredding.
Serve the shredded Roast with the vegetables and gravy.
