Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325 F.
Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the roast.
Add the olive oil to a Dutch oven and start heating to medium-high heat.
Brown the beef roast on all sides, approximately 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Place your vegetables around the roast and the garlic on top.
Combine the beef broth and red wine together. Pour over the top of the roast.

Roast in the oven for 4-5 hours or until the meat pulls apart when you take two forks to it. The secret is low heat and slow!
