Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roast

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Take the bone-in shoulder roast out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Roast

    Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the roast. Then, season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  3. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    Chop the onion, carrots, and celery into large chunks. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sear the Roast

    In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat a bit more olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  2. 5

    Add Vegetables and Herbs

    Once the roast is browned, remove it from the pot. Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

  3. 6

    Deglaze the Pot

    Add the beef broth to the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. This adds flavor to the broth.

  4. 7

    Add Roast Back to Pot

    Place the seared roast back into the pot. Add the rosemary sprigs and thyme on top of the roast.

  5. 8

    Roast in the Oven

    Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for about 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and has reached an internal temperature of at least 195°F (90°C).

  6. 9

    Rest the Roast

    Once done, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
