STEP 1

Preheat heavy-bottomed stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat on stovetop.

STEP 2

Season roast with salt and freshly ground black pepper, or as desired.

STEP 3

Add a thin layer of oil to pot.

STEP 4

When oil shimmers, place roast in pot with tongs. Sear on all sides, including ends.

STEP 5

Remove seared roast from pot.

STEP 6

Add rough cut carrots, celery and onion to pan and allow to caramelize, stirring occasionally.

STEP 7

When vegetables have browned and softened, stir in a few tablespoons of tomato paste and cook 2-3 minutes. Stir in red wine to deglaze pan, loosening up the browned bits; cook another 2-3 minutes.

STEP 8

Return roast to pot. Place on top of vegetables, and add fresh herbs like thyme and a bay leaf. Pour beef stock or broth over roast, submerging the bottom third to half.

STEP 9

Cover pot with tight-fitting lid and place in low oven (preheated to approximately 175°F). After 4 to 6 hours, remove roast from oven when it is fork-tender and pulls apart easily.

STEP 10

Serve and Enjoy!
