Transfer the roast to an oven-safe serving platter. Use a slotted spoon to remove the vegetables and arrange them around the roast.
Lower the oven temperature to 200°F (95°C). Place the platter with the roast and vegetables back into the oven to keep everything warm.
Pour the remaining pan juices into a saucepan and bring to a boil. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup water and cornstarch until smooth, then add to the boiling juices. Lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the browning sauce.
