But need something bigger to hold more yummy veggies. I used a bottom round roast which is a pretty tough cut of meat. I salt and peppered it. Browned it in the iron skillet on both sides in oil. Added 1/2 cup of red wine, covered, and put in a 300 degree oven. After cooking 1 hour, added potatoes, carrots, and onions. Cooked another 2-2.5 hours until tender. It came out fork tender and so good. None left.
