Easy Saucy Roast Beef

Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 -4 lbs beef roast (i use rump roast, but any cut will work)
• 2 -3 tablespoons mccormick's montreal brand steak seasoning
• 2 (3/4 ounce) packages brown gravy mix
• 3 cups water

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• 2 place beef roast in roasting pan on top of a roast rack so that it is not laying flat on the pan bottom.
• 3 cover beef with montreal steak seasoning so that you don't even see the beef surface; if you don't have the seasoning, you can sub salt and lots of fresh cracked pepper and maybe a touch of garlic powder (but it won't be exactly the same).
• 4 roast beef for about 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on size; you can use meat thermometer to check if you like, meat should be at medium rare.
• 5 let meat rest for a few minutes; while this is going on, mix 3 cups cold water with 2 packages brown gravy mix (a whisk really helps here).
• 6 after a few minutes, slice roast beef as thin or thick as you like; my family likes it about a 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. set aside a few slices for those who like their meat medium rare.
• 7 drain pan drippings from roast pan into a large frying pan, add gravy mixture, stir until it starts to bubble.
• 8 place roast beef slices that you want to be well done into pan with gravy, cook and let gravy reduce a bit, about 10 minutes or so.
• 9 put well done beef and also saved medium rare slices onto a serving platter and drizzle last bits of gravy over all. enjoy!
