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 1

Preheat broiler according to oven manufacturer's directions. Oven rack should be 3 to 5 inches from heating element.      
            

STEP 2

Season steaks with salt and pepper, or as desired. Place on perforated broiler rack, without overcrowding.      
            

STEP 3

Place broiler rack and pan in oven.      
            

STEP 4

When juices begin to rise to the top surface of the steaks, flip with tongs.      
            

STEP 5

After steaks have cooked a few minutes on both sides, check doneness with an instant-read thermometer.      
                  

STEP 6

Remove steaks onto clean plate and allow them to rest approximately 5 minutes before serving.

STEP 1

Preheat grill until very hot (about 500-550°F).      
            

STEP 2

Season steaks with salt and pepper, or as desired.      
            

STEP 3

Place steaks on preheated grill – they should sizzle. After a couple minutes, once juices begin to rise to the surface, use tongs to flip steaks over.      
            

STEP 4

Continue grilling steaks to desired doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy. Remove steaks from grill onto clean plate and allow them to rest approximately 5 minutes to redistribute the juices.      
            

STEP 5

For advanced grillers: Make professional diamond grill marks by placing your steaks on the grill with the ends at 10 and 4 o'clock. Once the meat has seared, turn them clockwise, with the ends at 2 and 8 o’clock. After a minute or two, flip the steaks over and cook until they reach
the desired doneness.
