Chef's tips
Brown the roast well before slow-cooking to build rich flavor. Keep the liquid at a gentle simmer so the meat stays juicy, and melt the butter slowly over medium-low heat until nutty without burning.
Storage
Refrigerate roast and noodles separately for up to 4 days.
Reheating
Reheat the roast with its braising liquid on the stovetop; warm noodles separately with a touch of butter.
Common mistakes to avoid
- β’Skipping the browning step before cooking the meat
- β’Burning the browned butter by using high heat
