Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the marinade by mixing 3/4 cup red wine, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 3 tablespoons olive oil, crushed red pepper, Italian seasoning, and salt in a Ziploc bag.

Place the beef roast in the marinade and seal the bag; let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Chop celery into 1-inch pieces, removing the tops and bitter ends.

Chop large whole carrots into 1-inch pieces.

Cut Idaho potatoes in half and then into 1-inch pieces.

Quarter the sweet yellow onion and remove the dry skin.

In a pan, combine all chopped vegetables: celery, carrots, potatoes, and onion.

Add about 3/4 to 1 cup of red wine to the pan for steaming.

Add 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, less than a teaspoon of salt, and about a teaspoon of black pepper to the vegetables.

Place the marinated beef roast on top of the vegetables in the pan.

Wrap the pan tightly with foil to hold in steam.

Add fresh rosemary on each side of the roast for flavor.

Put the pan in the oven and set a timer for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, check the internal temperature of the roast; it should be about 125°F.

Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C) and set the timer for another hour.

After the second hour, check the internal temperature again; it should reach at least 140°F for doneness.

Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes without uncovering it.

After resting, uncover the roast and serve it on a large platter with the vegetables.
