Directions

An hour before you plan to cook, take the roast out of the fridge and generously season with Holy Garlic! Seasoning. Set the meat aside at room temperature.
Heat your oven to 325℉.
When you’re ready to cook, heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot and shimmering, place the roast in the pot and sear for 3-4 minutes, until the bottom is deeply browned. Flip the roast and sear the second side, until it’s equally brown, and then use tongs to hold the roast upright to sear all the edges. Place half of the onions underneath the meat and add the red wine and rosemary sprigs. Pile the remaining onions on top of the meat, cover the pot, and roast for 3 - 3 ½ hours.
While the meat is roasting, scrub the potatoes (do not peel), peel the carrots and slice them into 3–inch (or so) pieces. Combine the veggies in a bowl, drizzle with enough olive oil to lightly coat. Add the veggies to the meat during the last hour of roasting, tucking them around the roast and into the broth the best you can.
The roast is ready when the meat is tender enough to be pulled apart with a fork, and the vegetables are cooked through.
