Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Season pot roast well with salt and pepper and heat olive oil in dutch oven until light and shimmery, about 30 seconds.
  • Sear pot roast on all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Add ingredients. Remove dutch oven from heat, and add peppers, onions, garlic, herbs, seasonings, and stock to pot over pot roast.
  • Cover with lid and braise in oven at 325 F 4-5 hours, until fork tender.
  • When pot roast is able to shred with light pressure from a fork, remove from oven and remove roast. Let sit on a cutting board or plate until cool enough to shred.
  • Remove bay leaves and discard. When pot roast is cool, shred using forks, a stand mixer with paddle attachment, or your hands.
  • Pot roast is great over salad, potatoes, or rice with fajita vegetables from the pot and a bit of the stock as a gravy - or add to tacos, burritos, sandwiches, and more!
