Heres how i cook one,..... Reminder, i dont write recipes for a living lol.......
First i sear it in a ducth oven, both sides,..i put enough oil in bottom to cover it to sear.
Then i add water... about half the dutch oven or cover roast about an inch, inch and a half... i begin to boil... while its getting to boiling point, im cutting up veggies,... potatoes, onions and carrots...
Once you get veggies ready, throw them in... Now this is were my roast is probably different from most... i add about a half pack of beef stew mix (McCormicks) and stir,... but you can use your spices here.
After it cooks on stove for approx. 30 min., I put in oven at 350 for about two hours.... Checking water level frequently. When its almost ready, i use 1/4 cup of flour, add enough water to mix, then put it into the dutch oven with roast, veggies. This thickens up your juices and makes a gravy. I also make toast, put that on a big plate, cover with roast, veggies, gravy and eat too much.
