- Remove the roast from the pot and cut it into slices that are approximately ¼ inch thick. Once you have sliced the entire roast, return the slices of roast to the pot. Make sure the pieces of the roast are nice and covered by the sauce that is in the pan. Then continue to cook on a low heat with the pot uncovered until the sauce thickens.
