You will need a beef roast, of course…. Cross rib or sirloin tip are good for roast beef dinner, rump roast also works.
Shake salt, pepper, onion salt and garlic salt on all sides of the roast.
Brown the roast in hot oil over medium- high heat in a heavy pot until it has a good brown but not burn on it- turning to brown all sides. This brown is the secret to good gravy. Add an inch or two of water to the pan. Turn the heat way down to simmer, put a lid on the pan and cook the roast long and slow….. low heat, 3 hours on the stove top. The secret to good roast is this slow cook.
Make sure the water doesn’t get low. You can also roast the roast in the oven for 3 or even 4 hours on low heat…. 300 degrees.
Or, you can put the roast in a crock pot with salt, paper, garlic salt, onion salt and water. Sometimes I add a can of beef bouillon soup and a can of French onion soup for flavor in the gravy since you usually don’t brown this roast.
You can add potatoes, carrots and onions to any of these roasts if you want a quick and easy pot roast.
Serve with Yorkshire Pudding and Beef Gravy
