It's 15 years now I've been married to a man who loves beef. For a long time, though, I was reluctant to cook a roast for fear of ruining a nice cut of meat. Finally, I started buying roasts on sale and experimenting. This recipe was the result...now, my husband doesn't want a roast - beef or pork - any other way. Keith and I are the parents of a 13-year-old girl and an 8-year-old boy. -Teri Lindquist, Gurnee, Illinois Ingredients:
1 beef rump roast or bottom round roast (4-1/2 to 5 pounds) |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce |
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 to 1/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules |
2-1/3 cups water, divided |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°. Place roast with fat side up in ungreased roasting pan. Combine the next five ingredients; pour over roast. Combine parsley, basil, salt, pepper, tarragon and thyme; rub over roast.
2. Bake, uncovered, 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Remove to a warm serving platter. Let stand 10-15 minutes.
3. Pour drippings and loosened brown bits into a measuring cup. Skim fat, reserving 2 tablespoons. In a large saucepan, combine flour, bouillon and 1 cup water until smooth. Gradually stir in the drippings, reserved fat and remaining water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 2 minutes or until thickened. Slice roast; serve with gravy. Yield: 10-12 servings.
