Add the paprika, thyme, bay leaf, and garlic. Stir to combine and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Return the seared roast to the pan. Add the stock and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and bake for 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and turn the roast in the liquid to moisten. Add the potatoes and carrots, cover, and bake an additional 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until both the meat and vegetables are tender.

• To serve, slice the roast against the grain, and spoon the sauce over the roast and vegetables.
