How To Make amazing honey & bourbon beef roast

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • Step 2
    THE ROAST
  • Step 3
    Gather your ingredients.
  • Step 4
    Place a rack in the lower position, and preheat the oven to 275f (135c)
  • Step 5
    Rub the roast down with the oil, and then sprinkle with salt & pepper, to taste.
  • Step 6
    Place a pot over medium-high heat, and sear the roast on all sides, about 2 minutes, per side.
  • Step 7
    Remove the roast, and reserve.
  • Step 8
    THE BRAISING LIQUID
  • Step 9
    Gather your ingredients.
  • Step 10
    Add the ingredients to the pot, and reduce heat to medium.
  • Step 11
    Chef's Note: Use a wooden spoon to scrape the fonds off the bottom of the pot, and incorporate them into the braising liquid.
  • Step 12
    Bring up to a simmer, while stirring to incorporate all the ingredients.
  • Step 13
    Chef's Tip: Since this braising liquid contains a lot of bourbon, when it comes to a simmer, you might want to avoid the fumes... unless you want to get drunk.
  • Step 14
    Return the roast to the pot.
  • Step 15
    Tightly cover and place in the oven until fork tender, about 4 hours.
  • Step 16
    Chef’s Note: If you are doing this in a slow cooker, add the seared roast, and other ingredients to the bowl of your slow cooker, and then set on low for 8 or 9 hours.
  • Step 17
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • YUMMY
