  6. Season well with salt, pepper, and herbs.

  9. Roast 4 hours, until roast is tender with light pressure from a fork.
  10. Remove roast and tent with foil on cutting board.
  11. Let roast rest at least 15 minutes before slicing.
  12. As roast rests, braising liquid can be boiled down and blended to thicken and serve as gravy.

  14. Leftover roast can be stored in refrigerator for up to four days in airtight container. Frozen roast can be stored four months. Always reheat to piping hot when serving leftovers to prevent food-borne illness.
