Add all your seasonings to pot and mix it into the vegetables. Place the roast on top of the vegetables, pour your beef stock in, place the lid on it and let it cook for up to five hours. When it is finished pull the roast and vegetables and place in a dish with a lid on it. Take a strainer and pour out all the liquid to get a clear broth.
