Easy Beef Roast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 -3 lbs rump roast
1 (8 -10 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
1 cup water
1/2 cup red wine (I prefer wine) or 1/2 cup ginger ale (I prefer wine)
sliced mushrooms, depending on size
fresh ground pepper
4 tablespoons flour
6 tablespoons water

Preparation

Rub the rump roast with the pepper and put in good size roaster.
Add rest of the ingredients, except flour and water.
Cover.
Roast in a 350* oven for approximately 2 hours.
Use your thermometer for the doneness you prefer.
I like an inner temperature of 150*.
Baste every so often to keep meat moist.
When done take out meat cover with foil and let it rest.
Mix your flour and water in a jar with a cover and shake quickly. This removes any and all lumps.
Put your pan on the burner, pour in the flour/water mixture; stir until thickened.
If you like a thinner gravy just add water. If you like a darker, richer color to your gravy add a\"seasoning and browning sauce\".
Now you are ready to thinly slice your meat.
