In the same pot, add remaining oil, then onions, carrots, and garlic.
Sauté 3–4 minutes (or skip and layer raw if short on time).
Stir in tomato paste (if using) and herbs.
4. Deglaze & Roast
Pour in beef broth, scraping up browned bits from the bottom.
Return roast to the pot, nestling it into the vegetables.
Cover tightly with lid or foil.
5. Slow-Roast to Perfection
Roast 3–4 hours, until beef is fork-tender and pulls apart easily.
Uncover for last 30 minutes if you want a slightly reduced sauce.
6. Rest & Serve
Let rest 10–15 minutes—the juices will redistribute.
Skim excess fat if desired; spoon vegetables and sauce over sliced or shredded beef.

Frequently Asked Questions
