In a food storage bag, toss pot roast with 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, a dash of thyme, and a dash of garlic powder. Heat oil in Dutch oven or large saucepan; add pot roast and brown on all sides. Add beef broth and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 1/2 hours. Add 1/2 cup red wine or beef broth, along with vegetables. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes longer, or until vegetables are tender. Strain juices into saucepan and bring to boil; reduce heat to simmer and cook 5 minutes. Combine 3 tablespoons flour with 3 to 4 tablespoons water and whisk to make smooth mixture. Stir into simmering broth, a little at a time, until thickened as desired. Arrange sliced pot roast and vegetables on platter. Drizzle some of the gravy over sliced beef or serve gravy on the side.
