Ingredients

4 1/2 to 5 lb. shoulder, cut or middle chuck
2 garlic cloves
3 Tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
paprika

Preparation

Rub meat with cut cloves of garlic and dredge with flour. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.

Arrange onions and carrots around and under meat.
Place in preheated oven and roast at 325\u00b0 allowing 25 to 35 minutes per pound.
(Do not turn roast with a fork.
Piercing the seared outer coat releases juices that should remain inside.
Do not baste.)
