Roast Beast

I remember my Grandma Miller making this delicious and tender roast beef for dinner.  I am so glad I have the recipe so that our family can continue to enjoy it.

3.5 pound beef sirloin tip roast

3-4 onions, sliced (or as many as you would like)

1 pkg. dry onion soup mix

flour & milk to thicken gravy

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Place beef roast in roasting pan and add sliced onions to the top of the roast and around the sides of the roast.  Cover the pan and cook at 350 F for 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until tender.  (Or you can cook the meat for 1 hour at 300 F, 1 hour at 275 F and 1 1/2 hours at 250 F.)

Take the pan out of the oven and let the beef cool.  Place the covered pan in the refrigerator overnight.

The next day, take the pan out of the refrigerator and skim the fat off the meat and broth.  Remove the roast from the pan and slice it thin.

Put the pan on the stove and heat on low.  Whisk in milk and flour to thicken the gravy.  If you would like more gravy, you can add an Au Jus packet or beef Better than Boullion and water according to the directions. 

Add the sliced beef and onions to a crock pot and pour the gravy over the top to cover the meat.  Heat on low for 3-4 hours to reheat. 

Serves:  8
