- In a large skillet, brown the roast in half the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with the vinegar. Add the honey and shallot. Coat the meat thoroughly.
- Add the broth and roast for about 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the centre of the roast reads 82 °C (180 °F). Add broth during cooking, if needed. Cover and let rest for about 15 minutes.
