Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Pat the moose roast dry with paper towels. Season all sides generously with salt and black pepper.
In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the moose roast on all sides until browned, 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside. Lower the heat to medium.
Add the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and diced onion to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Deglaze the pot by adding the beef broth and red wine (if using), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Place the moose roast back in the pot. Surround it with carrots, celery, and baby potatoes.
Ensure the liquid in the pot reaches about halfway up the roast. Add more broth if necessary.
Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Cook for 3.5 to 4 hours, basting occasionally, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Remove the pot from the oven. Transfer the roast and vegetables to a serving platter and let the roast rest for 10 minutes.
Optional: If you'd like a thicker gravy, strain the cooking juices from the pot and simmer them on the stovetop. Whisk in a slurry of 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water and cook until thickened.
Slice or shred the roast and serve with the cooked vegetables and gravy. Enjoy!
