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.
