Add Aromatics
Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Scatter them around the roast in the pan.

Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast and aromatics. Ensure the liquid covers at least half of the roast.

Roast the Beef
Cover the pan with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.

Rest the Meat
Once done, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
