Ingredients

Instructions

  • In large, heavy skillet, heat olive oil until light and shimmery.
  • Add roast to pan and brown on all sides.
  • When roast has been browned, after about 6 minutes, remove from pan and add to large dutch oven or roaster pan that has a lid. Add half stock, cover, and roast 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, add vegetables and potatoes to pan and arrange around roast with extra stock.
  • Season well with salt, pepper, and herbs.
  • Place rosemary and thyme sprigs in pan and add lid.
  • Roast another 2 hours, until roast is tender with light pressure from a fork.
  • Remove roast and tent with foil on cutting board.
  • Let roast rest at least 15 minutes before slicing or shredding.
  • As roast rests, braising liquid can be boiled down and blended to thicken and serve as gravy, or left as-is as a jus to pour over roast.
  • Shred roast with forks, and serve with potatoes and vegetables. We like to pour jus or gravy over roast after shredding.
