i always get a big pot i dunno what its called but its what u cook a turkey in, brown the roast first with onions, then add water not covering it though, and i add beef broth and let it cook, keep adding liquid as the liquid evaporates, keep lid on it but i always slant the lid so the steam can come out, then add carrots, and when its pretty much done i add cut up red potatoes and let it kinda boil for a little then take the lid off and let the potatoes finish in the oven, sorry its not in the oven recipe, but it always falls apart that way for me so good
