  3. In a large oven-proof lidded Dutch pan, sear roast on all sides over medium-high heat until well browned and set aside.
  4. Add in a beef broth and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon, to release all the flavourful brown bits, reduce the heat to medium
  5. Add in garlic, onions and red pepper and sauté for about 5-7 minutes stirring frequently, until vegetables have softened.
  6. Add in beef broth, red kidney beans, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and all the spices listed and stir to incorporate all of the ingredients.
  7. Add the seared beef back to the pot, cover and cook in the oven at 350°F (175°C ) for 3 hours.
  8. Turn roast over and continue cooking at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 hours, until the meat falls easily into shreds.
  9. Drain the juices and reduce the liquid to approximately 1.5 cups (375ml).
