How to Make A Roast That Even My Daughter Would Eat
- In a large resealable bag, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, and 1 tablespoon paprika.
- Cut the roast (approximately 3 lbs) into 2-inch thick strips, lengthwise.
- Lightly season the strips with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add 2 strips at a time to the bag and shake to coat evenly.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the strips on all sides, about 5 minutes total.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly spray a roasting pan with cooking spray.
- Pour 1 cup beef broth into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Transfer the browned bits (from step 8) to the roasting pan. Add the remaining beef broth (1 cup), 1 cup water, 2 sprigs fresh thyme, 2 bay leaves, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 medium chopped onion, and 2 medium chopped carrots to the roasting pan. Stir to combine.
- Place the roast strips in the roasting pan, cover with a lid, and transfer to the preheated oven.
- Cook for 2 hours, checking halfway through to ensure the liquid hasn't evaporated. Add more water if needed.
- After 2 hours, remove the roast strips and bay leaves from the pan. Stir in 10 oz can cream of mushroom soup and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Reduce oven temperature to 250°F (120°C). Return the roast strips to the pan and continue to cook for 1 hour, uncovered.
- Serve hot over mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
