The Warm Up Act
Before starting, let your roast sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Then preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
Tip: This will help the muscle relax and will result in a more tender roast, overall. -
Season
Combine the salt and pepper together. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon on each side of the roast.
-
Sear
Drizzle a little oil into a hot frying pan and heat for 20 seconds. Start to sear your roast in the pan, generously browning both sides. When the roast is browned, remove from the pan and place in your cooking vessel of choice.
Tip: A Dutch Oven has an uncanny ability to brown and caramelize vegetables while keeping the roast moist and tender. -
Vegetable Matter
Add the potatoes, carrots and onions to the hot pan and season with remaining salt & pepper mixture. Add additional oil at your discretion to avoid burning. Toss your mixture every minute for 5-6 minutes, slightly browning some of your vegetables. Add the bay leaves and garlic cloves and continue to sauté for 1 additional minute.
-
Out of the Frying Pan
Remove the vegetables from the pan and arrange them around the roast in the baking dish.
-
Precious Fluid
Pour a half cup of water in the pan to deglaze. Use a wooden spoon to scrape off the little bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
-
Oven Time
Pour the liquid over the roast and put on the cover. Place the baking dish in the oven and cook for 2 hours.
-
Flip!
Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Flip your roast and then cook for 1 additional hour. Spoon any drippings over the top of the vegetables to help keep them moist while cooking.
-
Rest time
Remove the roast and veggies from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Roux the Day
Now it’s time to make your roux – combine oil and flour into a pan and cook over medium heat while stirring with a wooden spoon. Cook until light brown.
-
Juiced Up
Turn the heat down to medium-low and add 1.5 cups of the juices from the roast to your roux while stirring. If you do not have enough juice, you can add beef stock to make up the difference.
-
Creamy Smoothness
Simmer for 5-8 minutes and stir until thicken to ensure sure your gravy does not stick to the pan. Thin with extra stock if desired.
Roux Directions

Wisk it Good
Wisk the Worcestershire sauce together with the horseradish, and mayo.
Horseradish Sauce Directions

Leafy Stuff
Sauté your greens. Put a pan over medium-high heat and drizzle a little olive oil into the pan. Toss in the greens and lightly sauté for 10-15 seconds, just enough to wilt your greens. Salt to taste.

When a Pan Comes Together
