Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Rinse and dry pork roast. Season all sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add roast to the hot skillet; turn and sear until browned and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer roast to a large lidded baking dish, leaving pan drippings in the skillet.
Step 4
Cover and bake in the preheated oven until meat pulls apart easily, 2 to 3 hours.
Step 5
Add carrots, onion, shallot, and garlic to the hot skillet and reduce heat to medium. Sauté in the pan drippings until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes; do not overcook.
Step 6
Pour red wine, beef broth, and tomato purée over the roast in the baking dish. Add sautéed vegetables, parsley, and thyme.
