- Step 4: Pour 1 cup beef broth into the pan, cover tightly with foil, and roast in the preheated oven for 3 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
- Step 5: Remove foil and roast uncovered for an additional 15 minutes to brown the vegetables and roast surface. Let the roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving with the vegetables.
