Ingredients:
1 (12-oz.) can cola soft drink |
1 medium onion, chopped |
8 garlic cloves, minced |
1 lemon, thinly sliced |
1 cup soy sauce |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided |

8 carrots (about 1 1/2 lb.), diagonally sliced |
7 yukon gold potatoes (3 lb.), peeled and cut into eighths |
2 large onions, cut into eighths |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
Directions:
1. Combine cola, next 4 ingredients, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag. Add roast, turning to coat. Seal and chill at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours. Remove roast from marinade, reserving marinade. Sprinkle roast evenly with pepper. 2. Brown roast 4 minutes on each side in remaining 1 Tbsp. hot oil in a large heavy-duty roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add reserved marinade, stirring to loosen particles from bottom of pan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil. 3. Bake at 300° for 2 1/2 hours. Turn roast, and stir in carrots, potatoes, and onions. Bake 2 more hours or until roast and vegetables are tender. Transfer roast and vegetables to a serving platter. Skim fat from juices in roasting pan. 4. Whisk together cornstarch and 1/2 cup water in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk cornstarch mixture into juices in pan; cook over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until thickened, whisking to loosen particles. 5. Drizzle 1/2 cup gravy over roast.
