Preparation

Step 1

Roll the roast in the flour. Sear the roast in the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven on all sides until brown.

Stir in beef broth, peppercorns, salt, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low.

Then, add potatoes, celery, carrots, and onions. Cover and simmer for 2 hours.

Place meat and vegetables on a hot platter and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Pour off drippings and thicken with enough flour to make gravy.
