Little drizzle of olive oil and just garlic, seasalt, and black pepper and cook for about 12 hours on low - turning occasionally.

You can add veggies about 4 hours before finish and use drippings to make gravy (or an au jus if we want to turn it into French Dip sandwiches). If you add the veggies, add beef stock if necessary to increase cooking liquid for veggies.

We usually roast a pan of veggies on the side and let the meat cook on it's own because we take the leftovers and turn them into enchiladas and hash.
