Season the beef chuck roast evenly with the salt and black pepper on all sides. Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, sear the beef roast on all sides (2-3 minutes per side) until well-browned. Remove the roast and set aside.
Peel and gently smash the garlic cloves. Slice the onion into thick wedges. Chop the carrots and celery into large chunks.
In the same pot, lower the heat to medium and add the garlic cloves. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Return the seared roast to the pot, nestling it among the vegetables. Pour in the beef stock, ensuring the liquid comes halfway up the sides of the roast. Add the dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaves.
Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and allow the roast to cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, turning the roast every hour, until the meat is fork-tender.
Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables from the pot. Discard the bay leaves. Skim off excess fat from the cooking liquid, if necessary.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and water until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the pot's cooking liquid to thicken it into a gravy. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
Slice the roast into thick pieces and serve with the cooked vegetables. Drizzle with the gravy and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
