2nd

Put the roast on a bed of carrots, saddlery, and onions. Add some 500ml of broth. Then put the roast pan it into the oven for 7-8h at 80 degrees celsius. If your roast is smaller, leave it for only 6-7h in the oven. The slow cooking technique makes the meat juicy and tender at the same time. Every 1-2 hours put a little broth over the roast to add liquid to keep the roast juicy and have enough liquid for the gravy.

3rd

Take out the roast pan, put the roast on a plate and cover it with aluminium foil to keep it warm. Pass the vegetables & liquid through a sieve and only keep the liquid. Melt the butter in a pot, and add 30-50g flour. Heat until the mixture is golden and then add the liquid from the roast. Stir the gravy until it is has the texture you like.
