Roast Beef with Gravy

1 (3 to 5 pound) Beef Roast (Pikes Peak, Rump, English, etcetera)

Gravy:
1 (10-ounce) can RoTel brand tomatoes (tomatoes with chilies)
2 (10.75-ounce) cans mushroom soup (store brand okay)
1 (10.75-ounce) can Campbell's brand golden mushroom soup
1 (1.5-ounce) package dry onion soup mix (store brand okay)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

In a 16 quart roaster or cast iron Dutch Oven, mix all the gravy ingredients and dilute with water to the consistency that you like your gravy. Place roast in gravy and spoon some gravy over it. Place in at 350*F (180*C) oven for 1 1/2 hours.

Remove and turn roast and place back in oven for 1 hour.

Remove roast and slice in 1/4-inch slices across the grain.

Place back in the gravy, cover and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The roast beef will be tender enough to cut with a fork.
A 5 pound roast will serve 12 to 14 people.

Note: Delicious served with mashed potatoes and garlic bread (bread with garlic flavored Olio or butter and browned in a broiler.) Also, we used to use a large baked potato instead of mashed potatoes.


Erica's Delicious Slow Cooker Beef Roast

"I love to make this very easy roast. It makes it's own gravy and is oh, so tender and juicy! Best if served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Any cut of roast should work fine."

4 servings

Prep time: 20 min
Cook time 9 hrs
Ready in 9 hrs 20 min

INGREDIENTS;

2 pounds boneless beef roast

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS:

In a large skillet over medium high heat, saute the roast in the oil for 15 minutes, or until all sides are well browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.

Answer 2

Assuming you have about a three-pound roast: 1 3lb roast, trimmed of most visible fat 2 medium onions, halved or quartered 3 carrots, sliced 3 potatoes, cubed 2 celery stalks, coarsely chopped 1 Tbsp salt 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp thyme Place all the ingredients in a crock pot, add 2 cups of water (or beef broth), and set on High for about 5 or 6 hours, or until roast is very tender. Remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot and place on a serving plate (keep warm). Pour all of the remaining juices from the crock pot into a saucepan (if there are bits of brown stuck to the pot, try to get them loose and in the saucepan as well - those are very flavorful). Add enough water or broth to make 2 cups. Bring the liquid to a boil. In the meantime, mix 2 to 3 Tbsp flour (depending on how thick you want the gravy) with about a half cup of water - whisk to make sure there are no lumps. While whisking the boiling liquid constantly, pour in the flour/water mixture slowly - whisk vigorously to make sure there are no flour lumps. Continue cooking at least 3 minutes, until gravy has thickened. Remove from the heat, test the seasoning, and pass through a strainer. Serve with the roast and vegetables immediately. Traditionally, the roast would be seared in a dutch oven first, to make a lot of browned meat pieces, and then the vegetables added and the whole thing put in the oven on low for several hours. Later, the dutch oven would be deglazed to dissolve the browned bits and create a rich, brown gravy.

Yum...roast beef and gravy! You definitely need to serve this with mashed potatoes!

1 (5 1/2-pound) sirloin of beef
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil
3 red onions, halved
2 bulbs garlic, peeled
1/2 bottle red wine

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and heat a large thick-bottomed roasting tray on the stovetop.

Rub the beef generously with salt, then add a little olive oil to the tray and lightly color the meat for a couple of minutes on all sides.

Lay the onions and bulbs of garlic in the tray with the beef on top of them, then cook in the pre-heated oven for a total of 1 1/2 hours.

Remove most of the fat from your roasting tray and you should be left with caramelized onions and sticky beef goodness.

Add 1 teaspoon of flour to the tray and mash everything together. Heat the tray on the stovetop and when hot, add the red wine. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes, until your gravy is really tasty and coats back of a spoon. Add any juice from the beef and feel free to add some water or stock to thin the gravy if you like.

Pour through a coarse sieve and push it through with a spoon, pushing it through with a spoon, and serve in a warmed gravy jug.

So what time is dinner? lol!

Down south we cook our veggies along with the meat so everything tastes like the yummy gravy!

Rinse roast & place in bottom of crock pot. Cut some baby red potatoes & onions into quarters, then place around meat. Add sliced carrots, a clove of minced garlic, 1 pkg Lipton onion soup mix, 1 cup water, 1 stick butter, 1 tablespoon worchester, salt & pepper. Close lid, then cook on low for 8 - 10 hours......Serve with homemade cornbread & fresh coleslaw..........Enjoy!

get a 4-5 pound beef roast, season it with seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
put the meat in your crockpot and pour an envelope of onion soup mix, 1 1/2 cups of water, and a can of cream of mushroom soup.
