Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Heat a Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add oil, then sear meat in the center of the pan for 4 minutes. Turn meat over with tongs; sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove meat from the pot.
- Arrange onion, garlic, and 1 bay leaf in the bottom of the pan; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return meat to the pan, place remaining bay leaf on top of meat, and cover.
- Cook in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and continue cooking until tender, about 1 ½ hours more. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the roast should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C).
- Transfer roast to a platter and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice and top with gravy.
