Sage Pot Roast

1 lean boneless beef chuck roast (about 5 pounds)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 to 2 teaspoons rubbed sage
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
6 medium red potatoes (about 2 pounds), cut in half
3 to 4 carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 medium onions, quartered
5 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water

In a Dutch oven, brown roast on both sides in oil. Season with sage and pepper. Add broth. Cover and bake at 325*F (160*C) for 2 1/2 hours.
Add potatoes, carrots and onions. Cover and bake 1 hour longer or until the meat is tender and vegetables are cooked.

Remove roast and vegetables to a serving platter and keep warm.
Combine cornstarch and water; stir into pan juices. Cook until thickened and bubbly. Serve with the roast.
