"A low-effort, high flavor family favorite. I've also made this without the BBQ sauce and it's just as delicious!"

add Onion soup mix and stir into browned bits from roast just untill starts to brown.
add wine and loosen browned bits.
stir in brown sugar, honey, and sesame seed oil.
cook until all ingredients start to meld and wine begins to reduce.
Add cold water to pan and pour over roast (adding more water to cover roast if needed).
During last couple hours add BBQ sauce and rotate roast to coat.
Allow to rest 10 minutes before pulling meat apart with 2 forks.

(A "sweet gravy" can be made for the veggies by reserving some of the liquid as a stock and making as you would with any other regular gray.).
