Preparation Instructions
- Prepare to roast—Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
- Sear the meat—Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season roast all over with salt and pepper. When pan and oil are hot, add meat and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until nicely browned. Remove meat from pan.
- Sauté the aromatics—Add onions to pan and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes or until they begin to brown. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for another minute.
- Cook the roast—Return meat to pan, pour in beef broth, and add rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer. Cover pot and roast in oven for about 2 hours.
- Add the veggies—Remove pot from oven and add carrots and potatoes, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cover pot, return to oven, and roast until meat and vegetables are fork tender, another 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and allow meat to rest for 10 minutes.
- Slice and serve—Remove bay leaf and herb sprigs and transfer roast to cutting board for slicing. Return sliced meat to pot and serve warm.
Tips
You can’t rush perfection—low and slow roasting is key for transforming tough cuts of beef into impossibly tender roasts.
