  • Sear the roast before braising it. This will help to develop a rich, brown crust and lock in the juices.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the braising liquid. This will add flavor and depth to the roast.
  • Braise the roast for at least 2 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
  • Serve the roast with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or spätzle.
