  • 4 stalks Celery diced
  • 1 Large Onion chopped
  • 2 cups Beef Broth
  • 1 cup Red Wine optional, can be replaced with more broth
  • 4 Garlic Cloves roughly chopped
  • 1 sprig Rosemary
  • 1 sprig Thyme
  • ¼ cup Parsley chopped
  • ½ cup Flour
  • 1 lb Baby Gold Potatoes sliced in half or quartered
  • 2 tsp Avocado Oil
  • 2 tbsp All Purpose Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Adobo
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot/dutch oven over medium/high heat, add 1 tsp of your avocado oil.
  • Pat dry your roast, rub with remaining avocado oil and season with all purpose flour, adobo, and black pepper.
  • Sear your seasoned roast on both sides for 4-5 minutes and remove and set aside.
  • In that same pot add your carrots, onions, and celery. Sauté over medium heat 3-4 minutes or until onions become translucent.
  • Next, add your flour and mix to coat veggies. Cook out flour 1-2 minutes.
  • Then, deglaze with red wine and beef broth. Stir and simmer on low for 4-5 minutes.
  • If using pot/dutch oven, add roast back on along with fresh herbs, potatoes, and garlic. If using pressure cooker, add all ingredients to pressure cooker.
  • For stove top, cook on medium low heat 3-4 hours, checking occasionally for meat tenderness.
  • For pressure cooker, pressure cook on high for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow to vent for 15 minutes and sit an additional 15 minutes before opening. Roast should be tender and meat falling apart to the touch. Serve and ENJOY!
