It all Comes Together

NOTES
* if you do not have wine on hand or just want to omit it all together you can use 1 cup beef broth in its place.
** you may want to turn on your oven fan while searing the roast.
*** we used 1 tsp of salt while adding all the herbs into the pot
****we served this over mashed potatoes and it was delish!
