Directions

Make small slits all over the meat with a sharp knife, inserting a sliver of garlic into each as you go. (If you can do this several hours or the night before cooking, all the better.) Rub the meat all over with salt and pepper. Heat the oven to 325 degrees F/160 degrees C.

Melt the butter in a deep, lidded casserole (cocotte) and brown the meat well on all sides. Add the onion, carrot and herbs to the pot. Pour over the milk, and bring to a simmer on the stovetop. Cover the dish and transfer to the oven until tender, about 2 hours, turning the meat at least once.

Remove the meat from the pot and wrap in foil to keep warm. Remove the herbs, carrot and onion and discard. The cooking juices will be curdled, but this is how they're meant to be. Boil them down to about 1 cup/250 ml and puree with an immersion blender. Taste and adjust the seasonings.

Carve the meat and arrange in a serving dish. Pour over the sauce, sprinkle with the chives and/or parsley. Serve.

    Nice and tender... I cooked it a little longer while pulling together the rest of my meal. Loved the gravy... it had such a nice flavor and texture. It was curdled as the recipe indicated, but came together and reduced down to a nice, smooth gravy... perfect for mashed potatoes. I served w/ sauteed brussel sprouts and my family loved it.

    I made the recipe exactly as written and it was easy and excellent. The note about the sauce looking curdled when it comes out of the oven is very true. The sauce came together nicely with the immersion blender. I served with the squash recipe from the show and mashed potatoes since the sauce is really a good gravy. I would also note that using whole milk is probably a requirement. I usually substitute skim but didn't in this case. I think the sauce needs the fat for both taste and consistency.
