  Gravy: Sprinkle 2 heaping Tablespoons of leftover flour (from where you dreged the roast) over the remaining oil in your pot. Stir and cook for a few minutes to brown...add a little water while browning to keep it from sticking. Then add your can of mushroom soup and 2 to 3 soup cans of water to browned flour; stir or whisk together. Your gravy will be thin but it will thicken as it cooks.

  Continue baking the beef for another hour or until it is tenter. Cut roast up and serve with gravy and vegetables. Note: This recipe works for other cuts of roasts as well. Cooking times will vary depending on the size and type of roast you fix. Before cooking any roast I soak it in plain water for about 30 minutes to an hour and then drain it. This removes blood from the roast and improves flavor.
