Turn off the heat and add the whiskey, deglazing and scraping the bottom of the pot. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway. Add the rosemary and thyme.
• Cover the pot with the lid, transfer to the oven and roast until the meat is fall-apart tender, about 4 hours. Break the beef apart with tongs or whatever cutlery you have on hand and serve with some of the carrots from the pot, the whiskey sauce and a side of mashed potatoes.

POT ROAST WITH BOURBON MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

Brown meat on all sides and remove. Add the remaining olive oil, celery, carrots and onions and cook over medium heat for a few minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.

Lower the heat to a simmer; cover pot and cook 3 to 3 1/2 hours, turning meat occasionally so that it will cook evenly. If it still seems a bit liquidy after 2 1/2 hours, tip the lid off a bit to allow steam to escape and the sauce to thicken.
• When meat is fork tender, remove from pot. Add peas and corn. Cook for another 10-15 minutes. Slice meat into thick 1/2" slices. Mound mashed potatoes on center of plate. Top with meat slices and pour sauce over everything.
