1. Start by seasoning the roast with salt, pepper, garlic, and any other desired seasonings.
2. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add oil.
3. Sear the roast on all sides for about 3-4 minutes per side.
4. Reduce the heat to low and add any other desired vegetables, such as carrots and onions.
5. Add enough liquid to cover the roast, such as beef broth or a can of tomatoes.
6. Cover the pot and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the roast is tender.
7. Baste the roast with the cooking liquid occasionally.
8. When the roast is done, remove it from the pot and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
9. Slice the roast and serve with the vegetables.
