Notes
Low and slow is key. This roast gets tender only with long cooking time, so resist the urge to rush it. No added liquid needed. The butter, beef juices, and peppers create plenty of flavorful cooking liquid. Try different proteins. This same method works with pork shoulder or boneless chicken thighs if you want a change. Add veggies if you want a full meal. Potatoes, carrots, and onions can be tucked around the roast before cooking. Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze up to 3 months. Reheating: Warm gently in a skillet over medium heat, or cover with foil and bake at 325°F for about 20 minutes.
