Yields1 ServingPrep Time15 minsCook Time3 hrsTotal Time3 hrs 15 mins

 1 tbsp (15 mL) rosemary
 1 tsp (5 mL) EACH salt and pepper
 3 lb (1.5 kg) Boneless Beef Pot Roast (e.g. Cross Rib, Blade or Top Blade)
 3 tbsp (45 mL) vegetable oil
 1 red onion, cut into wedges
 4 carrots, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) chunks
 1 lb (500 g) mini red potatoes, scrubbed and cut in half

 1 tbsp (15 mL) brown sugar

Sprinkle with flour, cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
