 Set oven @ 325 F/165 C.

 Pat roast dry with a paper towel; tie at 2" intervals with kitchen

 oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown roast on all sides.
 Remove from pan.

 Add onions, celery, and 1/2 ts salt to the same pan; cook and stir
 over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until onions are browned. Add
 garlic, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaves; cook and stir 1 minute
 longer.

 Return roast to pan. Arrange potatoes, parsnips, and carrots around

 Remove roast and vegetables from pan; keep warm. Discard bay
 leaves; skim fat from cooking juices. On stovetop, bring juices to
 a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half (about 1-1/2 cups),
 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in vinegar and parsley; season with salt and
 pepper to taste.

 Remove string from roast. Serve with vegetables and sauce.
