- Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

- Pour in the red wine and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

- Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Cook for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Remove the roast from the pot and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
- Add the cornstarch slurry to the pot and bring the liquid to a boil, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
