ROAST WITH GRAVY



Roast with Gravy image

Roast like grandma used to make and easy gravy. This is a recipe my grandmother has made for years. I love the gravy that goes with this! Serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetables!

Provided by Laura Tanner-Humphreys

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Roast Recipes

Time 2h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (3 pound) beef sirloin tip roast
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups brewed coffee
1 ½ cups water
2 cubes beef bouillon
6 basil leaves
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup water
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in stock pot over medium heat; sear roast in the hot oil until slightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove roast from pot and place on a plate. Cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Return seared roast to the stock pot; pour coffee and 1 1/2 cup water over roast. Add beef bouillon, basil leaves, 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper.
  • Bring broth to a boil; reduce heat to medium low, cover stock pot, and simmer until meat is falling apart, 2 to 3 hours. Remove and discard basil leaves. Transfer roast to a serving dish and cover with a lid or aluminum foil, keeping the broth in the stock pot over medium heat.
  • Whisk flour and 1/2 cup water together in a bowl until smooth. Slowly whisk flour mixture into broth until gravy is smooth and somewhat clear; season with salt. Pour about half the gravy over the roast and pour the rest into a gravy boat for serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Roast: Select a well-marbled roast for extra flavor and tenderness. Look for a roast with a good amount of fat marbling, such as a chuck roast, rump roast, or rib roast.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season the roast liberally with salt and pepper, as this will help enhance its natural flavor. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or thyme.
  • Sear the Roast: Searing the roast before roasting is an important step that helps develop a flavorful crust and lock in moisture. Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and sear the roast on all sides until browned.
  • Roast at a Low Temperature: Roasting the beef at a low temperature (around 300°F) for a longer period of time results in tender, juicy meat. This also helps prevent the roast from drying out.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that the roast is cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the roast and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, or 170°F for well-done.
  • Let the Roast Rest: Once the roast is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
  • Make a Simple Gravy: While the roast is resting, make a simple gravy using the pan drippings. Add a little flour or cornstarch to thicken the gravy, and season to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs.

Conclusion:

With these tips, you can easily create a delicious and flavorful roast beef with gravy at home. This classic dish is perfect for a special occasion or a comforting family meal. Serve it with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal. For added richness and flavor, consider using a flavorful cut of beef, such as a prime rib roast or a rib eye roast. Don't forget to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a roast that suits your taste preferences. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a perfect roast beef that your family and friends will love.
