I made this using a 4 1/2 lb roast, with which we made 4 meals. But roasting this with the vegetables was delicious!

  • 3 sticks celery, chopped
  • to taste: - garlic, chives, dried minced onion, salt & pepper

How To Make beef roast with roasted vegetables

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a roasting pan lightly with non-stick spray.
  • Step 2
    In the roasting pan, place the roast in the center. Surround it with all the veggies.
  • Step 3
    Sprinkle on the veggies: parsley, minced onion, garlic, then drizzle generously with olive oil.
  • Step 4
    Season the roast generously with garlic, chives, minced onion (I used Tastefully Simple's "Garlic Garlic" seasoning which has these in it), salt & pepper.
  • Step 5
    Add about 1/2 cup water in the pan. Roast in oven for 2 hours, uncovered.
  • Step 6
    Test veggies and the roast at this point. When done, veggies should be fork tender & roast should have internal temp of at least 145 degrees, if not continue baking for 1/2 more. If the roast is getting too dark on top, cover with lid to roasting pan (or foil).
  • Step 7
    When done, remove roast to platter, let sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing. (We used about 1/4 of the roast for a meal). Place roasted veggies in a bowl.
  • Step 8
    Add 1/4 cup red wine to deglaze roasting pan. Add all drippings to small saucepan. In 1/2 cup warm water, dissolve 1-2 tablespoons corn starch for thickening & add to drippings. Heat till thickened.
  • Step 9
    ** The remaining roast can be divided up for 2 or 3 more meals later & put in the freezer. I sliced some up for steak sandwiches, used some for beef stew, etc.
