Instructions

    Preheat your oven to 325°F.
  2. 2
    Warm a Dutch oven over medium to medium/high heat and add the olive oil.

    Season the roast generously with salt and pepper, then sear for about 4 minutes per side until browned. Set aside on a plate.

    Add the ghee, followed by the sliced onions. Cook 5 to 7 minutes until softened.
  5. 5
    Stir in the garlic and cook 1 to 2 minutes more.

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  8. 8
    Return the roast to the center of the pot and add rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves.

    Ensure the roast is covered about halfway with liquid, then cover with the lid. If it's not, add a little more broth.

    After 2 hours, add the carrots and potatoes. Cook for the final hour.
