Instructions
- Season the roast with salt and pepper.

- Add the beef (in batches) and brown on both sides. Do not overcrowd the pan. Remove from heat and set aside.

- Stir in the garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds until you can start to smell the garlic.
- Add the beef back to the pan and then stir in the remaining ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low.
- Simmer for 2 hours until the beef is tender. Stir occasionally so that the ingredients are not sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens based on your preference.
- Remove the bay leaves, serve with your favorite chili toppings and enjoy!
