Savory 7-Bottom Round Roast

Ingredients

1 7-Bottom Round Roast
Salt and pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder
1 cup of beef broth
1 onion, chopped
4-5 carrots, chopped
4-5 potatoes, chopped
2 sprigs of rosemary

Directions

Preheat Your Oven:Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). While it’s heating up, take the time to prepare your roast.

Season the Roast:Rub the 7-Bottom Round Roast with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. This will infuse it with incredible flavors.

Sear the Roast:Heat a large ovenproof pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a little more olive oil if needed, and sear the roast on all sides until it’s nicely browned. This step locks in the juices for a juicy roast.

Add the Veggies:Surround the roast with sliced onions, chopped carrots, and cubed potatoes in the pan. These veggies will soak up the roast’s savory goodness as it cooks.

Pour in Beef Broth:Pour a cup of beef broth over the roast and veggies. It will add depth to the flavor and keep everything moist.

Cover and Roast:Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the roast reaches your desired level of doneness. You can use a meat thermometer to check (145°F or 63°C for medium-rare, 160°F or 71°C for medium).

Rest and Slice:Once done, remove the roast from the oven, cover it with foil, and let it rest for about 15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping your roast tender and flavorful. Slice it up, serve with the veggies and some of that delicious pan juice.

Now, onto the tacos!

Sear the roast in a hot skillet with a touch of olive oil.

Roast Beef and Mushroom Gravy

Ingredients

1 7-Bottom Round Roast
Salt and pepper
Thyme
1 cup of beef broth
1 onion, chopped
1 cup of mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

Directions

Let’s embark on a culinary journey:Roast Beef:Preheat and Season:Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Rub this flavorful mixture evenly over the beef roast.

Sear the Beef:In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the seasoned beef roast in the skillet and sear it on all sides until it’s nicely browned. This will lock in those savory juices.

Roasting Excellence:Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast the beef for about 25-30 minutes per pound, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. A meat thermometer should read 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium, and 145°F (63°C) for medium-well. Remember, the beef will continue to cook as it rests, so factor that in.

Rest and Slice:Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This ensures the juices redistribute, keeping your roast tender and juicy. Slice to your preferred thickness.

Mushroom Gravy:Mushroom Saute:In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté them until they’re tender and the mushrooms are golden brown.

Flour Roux:Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushroom and onion mixture. Stir well to create a roux, which will thicken the gravy. Cook for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Broth and Cream:Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer and thicken for about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve with Roast Beef:Pour your mushroom gravy over the slices of roast beef, and garnish with additional thyme or fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

There you have it, a sumptuous Roast Beef with Mushroom Gravy that’s perfect for any special occasion or a comforting weeknight dinner. It’s a classic dish with a rich, savory twist. Enjoy your culinary masterpiece! 🍽️😄
