Directions

Preheat your oven to 325&# 194;°F (165ðC).

Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Reduce heat to medium and add the garlic cloves, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add 1.5 cups of water to the pot to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
-
Cover the pot tightly with a lid and transfer to the preheated oven.

Braise for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
