Mix all ingredients except roast. Put roast in large roasting pan and cover with mixture. Add enough water to cover roast. Cover with lid and roast in oven at 350° until desired doneness depending on the size of the roast. It usually takes 15-20 minutes for every pound. (5 pound roast would take between 1 1/2 hour up to 2 hours depending on how well done you like it).
Roast can also be cooked in a crock pot on medium for 8 hours.
Potatoes and carrots can be cooked with the roast during the last hour of cooking. if desired.
To make gravy, remove roast and vegetables. Bring liquids to a boil. While boiling, mix together 1/4 cup corn starch or flour with enough cold water until smooth to form watery paste. Stir into boiling mixture until desired thickness is reached for gravy.
