Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 3 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Rub roast with seasoned salt and let sit for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, mix olive oil, black pepper, and rosemary together in a bowl. Rub roast with mixture. Let sit for 1 hour.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown roast on all sides in the hot skillet, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 5

Place celery, carrots, and onion in a large, shallow baking pan and cover with water. Place roast on top, bone side-down.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until slightly pink in the center, about 2 hours, or to desired doneness. Remove roast from the pan, cover, and let rest for 30 minutes. Remove vegetables from the pan.

Step 7

Place the pan on the stovetop over medium to high heat to make the gravy and bring to a simmer. Stir in milk. Sprinkle in flour for desired thickness and cook until gravy has thickened. Serve with roast.
