Savory Pot Roast With Pan Gravy (Oven Or Crock Pot) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs bottom round beef roast (or rump)
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
1 pinch nutmeg
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 large onions, sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 cups hot beef bouillon (broth)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon thyme
4 sprigs parsley, plus
2 celery tops, plus
1 bay leaf (tied together in bouquet)

Preparation

Dust beef with combination of seasonings and flour.
Heat oil in heavy oven-proof pan; brown meat, then remove.
Brown onions and garlic lightly in pan. Replace meat; add remaining ingredients.
Cover, bake in 350\u00b0F oven until meat is tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
(Note: May use a crock pot instead of the oven. Cook on low 10-12 hours, -or- on high 5-6 hours).
Discard bouquet. Serve with pan gravy.
