Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325° and spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with a non stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Using a cast iron pan, or large frying pan, heat oil over medium high heat.
  • Add flour and seasonings to large baggie. Seal and shake to mix.
  • Place roast in bag, shake to coat and add to hot oil.
  • Sear all sides of roast until browned and then place into prepared baking dish.
  • Add cubed potatoes, carrots, celery and onions around roast.
  • Top with cream of mushroom soup, Rotel and beef broth.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 3-3½ hours until roast is tender. Remove foil and continue to bake for 10 more minutes.
  • Carefully remove from oven, slice roast, serve with vegetables and top with gravy. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Don’t rush the sear: Searing the roast is essential for flavor. Ensure all sides develop a golden brown crust before adding it to the pan.
  • Vegetables size: Cut the vegetables into even-sized pieces, so that they cook at the same rate. No one wants hard potatoes.
  • Allow the beef to rest: The 10-minute resting period is essential to ensuring your meat stays nice and juicy, so don’t slice it too early.
