  • Rub roast with seasoned salt and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix olive oil, black pepper, and rosemary together in a bowl. Rub roast with mixture. Let sit for 1 hour.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown roast on all sides in the hot skillet, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place celery, carrots, and onion in a large, shallow baking pan and cover with water. Place roast on top, bone side-down.
  • 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.
  • 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.
