    STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

    Vegetables and garlic chopped on a plate ready for the recipe.
    Start by chopping the veggies, then set aside.

    Chop the vegetables. You want to cut them into dice-sized as they will cook with the meat and then they will be puréed as part of the gravy.

    Roast beef in Dutch oven browning in olive oil.
    Dredge the roast beef in flower, then heat vegetable oil and brown in dutch oven on all sides.

    Remove the meat from the package and pat it dry with paper towels. In a plate or shallow baking dish, place ⅓ cup of all-purpose flour.

    Dredge the beef by turning it around in the flour coating all sides and both ends.

    Add oil to a Dutch oven, then brown the beef on all sides, stirring every few minutes. This should take about 10 minutes total.

    Use two wooden spoons to hold up on the ends and make sure they are browned as well.

    Set aside the beef.

    Vegetables are sautéd in Dutch oven with wooden spoon.

    Add 2 tbsp. of olive oil to the same Dutch oven and add in the vegetables and garlic.

    Sauté for ten minutes, stirring often.

    Here you can see how nicely everything thickens up once you add the broth, tomatoes and flour.

    Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir well to combine. Next, add in the tomatoes, beef broth, and herbs. Cook for a few minutes, then add the beef back to the pot.

    Roast beef is added back to the pot with the gravy.

    Roast, covered in 325°F oven for 2 and ½ to 3 hours or until a meat thermetor reads 160°F for medium or cook to desired level of doneness.

    Remove the roast from the pan and cover with foil to keep warm.

    Take all of the pan drippings and vegetables and purée in food process or blender until very smooth. If you're using a small processor, you will need to do this in batches.

    Return the gravy mixture to the Dutch oven and simmer over medium-high heat.

    In a small glass cup, whisk together flour and water. Add this to 1 cup of beef stock.

    This will ensure that your gravy is not lumpy. Slowly, stir into the pot. Add to pureed vegetable mixture and heat over medium heat, then serve over roast beef.

    Variation:

    If you would like to cook vegetables to have on the side, they can be added to the pot 1 and ½ hours into the cooking time, then removed with a slotted spoon. Keep in mind, the diced vegetables will be mixed in and you will have to pick them out with tongs or carefully with a slotted spoon.
