Ingredients:
4 cups water
2 cups red wine vinegar
12 whole cloves
2 bay leaves
3 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons brown sugar
1 boneless beef chuck roast, or beef rump roast or bottom round roast (4 pounds)
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large onion, cut into wedges
5 medium carrots, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
2 celery ribs, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
