• 2. Next in a large deep heavy pot that has a tight fitting lid heat your oil until just shimmering with a large meat fork pick up roast and slowly put it into the hot oil and begin to sear and brown on all sides. This should take about two and a half minutes per side. Take your time lower the heat if you see that it starts to brown to much. You want a nice golden crust all over the meat on each side. When your meat has browned all over carfully remove the meat to a platter and drain all of the oil into a small pot. Save the oil you will need some of it later. Now put the meat back into the heavy pot add the can of beef broth, two cans water, halved or quarted onions, jalapeno, pimento halves, parsley, cilantro, bay leafs, wine, 1 tsp garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, and cumin powder. stir all of the veggies and seasoning in the water/wine and broth mixture.
