Mom's Beef Roast

5.0(7)

My mom taught me how to make one of the best beef roasts ever! It's super easy to make, and really is wonderful. The roast will make a delicious gravy too--so make sure to make some mashed potatoes to go with it!

Ingredients (5)

serves

3 lbs roast (I use whatever...round, pot roast....whatever is on sale!)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegarred-wine-vinegar
pepperpepper
garlic powdergarlic-powder
1 envelope onion soup mixonion-soup-mix

Instructions (4 steps)

01Place roast in roaster pan and sprinkle with vinegar, pepper, garlic powder and the onion soup mix.
02Cover roaster and bake at 325º-350º for at least 3-4 hours.
03The last hour of cooking I remove the lid to brown the roast a bit.
04Then with the drippings, I make gravy (remove roast and cover with foil. Heat the drippings on the stove over fairly high heat. Add more water if necessary, and bring to a boil. Whisk in a slurry of flour and water (fairly thick) stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Adjust salt and pepper.).
