There's nothing better than a Sunday roast beef dinner. This beef was made with what I had on hand and was a real hit with my troops. Deep rich flavorful gravy that was oh so good served with creamy mashed potatoes. I hope you try my recipe. It's been tested and approved by my whole family, each had seconds! :)

How To Make ~ deep flavor roast ~

Step 1

Cut slits in random places on each roast, insert 4 - 5 cloves in each roast. Salt & pepper both sides. Sprinkle each side with flour and pat into the meat with your hands.

Step 2

In my iron skillet I heat a few tablespoons oil until hot. Carefully brown each side of meat.
Step 3

In a medium roaster, I use my deep clay roaster...evenly spread onion and celery. Place browned meat on top. Sprinkle with thyme and bay leaves.
Step 4

While skillet is still hot, deglaze with 1/4 cup wine, scraping any bits off bottom of pan and pour over meat.
Step 5

In a bowl, whisk together, broth, remaining wine, soup and tomato paste.
Step 6

Pour over meat. Place in a 350 degree oven and bake for 1 hour. I then cover and continue baking until melt In your mouth tender.
Step 7

The broth mixture makes a wonderful gravy to serve with creamy mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
