Say goodbye to boring old brisket and hello to my HOT HONEY FRENCH ROAST! This roast is so tender you can pull it apart with a spoon!
Yes this roast is somewhat spicy (not very!), But feel free to adjust the spice level by using less chili and/or more honey.

Hot Honey French Roast
3-4lb French roast (Or any braising cut)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/3 c + 2 tbsp chili oil
1/3 cup honey
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 cup beef or chicken stock
Method:
Prepare your chili oil – Chili oil recipe
Pat your roast dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of chili oil (Use just the oil and not the chili flakes) in a Dutch oven. Sear the roast until browned on both sides and remove from the pot. Add another tablespoon of chili oil and sauté the Shallots until translucent. Deglaze the pan with chicken stock and scrape up any bits from the pot. Return the roast to the pot and top with chili oil (use mostly the chili flakes and aromatics, not the oil). Add the honey. Cover the pot and bake at 325° for 3 to 4 hours or until tender.
