Delicious slow-roasted beef with a mushroom-onion gravy
Ingredients
  • 1 Beef Roast
  • 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 package dry onion soup mix
Instructions
  1. Choose a good cut of roast from the grocery store. Look for one with a little bit of "marbling," or veins of fat running throughout the roast. This produces a tender roast with lots of flavor.
  2. Sear the roast on all sides. To do this, simply spray a skillet with a little bit of spray oil, and then on medium-high heat, "sear" or cook the meat for about one minute or until the outside is a light golden brown. Rotate roast to another side and repeat. Continue searing until the entire surface of the roast has been seared. This helps seal the juices into the meat so it will be moist, rather than dry after it is baked. It also makes your kitchen smell amazing--just like Sunday at Grandma's.
  3. Lay the roast on a large piece of aluminum foil
  4. In a small bowl, combine the condensed soup with the package of onion soup mix. Stir well to combine.
  5. Spread the soup mixture all over the top and sides of the roast.
  6. Seal up the entire roast tightly by rolling up the edges of the foil into a "drugstore roll" to seal in the steam.
  7. Place the roast into a 9x13 pan, or cake pan and roast in a 300 degree oven for 2-3 hours until a meat thermometer registers 145 degrees.
  8. When you unroll the foil, remove the roast to a cutting board to carve it into portions. The soup mixture will have transformed into a delicious. flavorful gravy that you can serve over the top of the finished roast.
  9. Add a green salad, some steamed vegetables, or a few baked cottage fries to complete the meal.
