Season the pork shoulder roast on all sides with 2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper.
Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the sliced yellow onion, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic.
Mix in 2 tbsp of tomato paste, 1 tsp of ground paprika, and cook for another 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavors.
Pour in 3 cups of beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
Add the thyme sprigs and bay leaves, then return the seared pork roast to the pot, nestling it among the vegetables.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours, turning the roast occasionally and ensuring it stays moist.
Once the roast is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork, carefully remove it and the vegetables from the pot and set them aside on a serving platter.
In a small bowl, whisk 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour with 1 cup of water to create a smooth slurry.
Gradually stir the flour slurry into the remaining liquid in the pot. Increase the heat to medium and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt and pepper.
Slice or shred the pork roast and serve with the cooked vegetables, drizzling gravy over the top. Enjoy!
