• Season each sides of the roast with the mixed ingredients. Drizzle an olive oil into the roasting pan set over medium-high heat but not smoking.
• When the oil starts forming small bubbles, slide the roast and brown the roast on each sides for 10 to 12 minutes to improve the flavor and appearance of the meat. Transfer the roast in a plate and set aside.
• Use a wooden spoon to scrape the browned bits left in the pan and pour the beef stock and cola to the pan.The browned bits will add flavor into the roast.
• When it boils, add-in the tomato paste and give it a good stir so that the flavors will blend together. Put the roast back into the pan, make sure that the liquid is just about 1/2 way up the sides of the roast.
• Put the lid to cover the pan. Place it in the the preheated oven (325 degress F).
• Use tongs to flip the other side of the roast. Do this every hour. This will take about 3 hours or so until the meat becomes juicy and tender.
• Keep the liquid level at about 1/3 up the sides of the roast by adding water. Use a fork to check if the meat is tender.
