How to Make Art's Roast Beef Anderson Indiana Copycat

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Season a 3-4 lb beef roast generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Place the seasoned roast in a roasting pan and roast for approximately 2-2.5 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or your desired doneness. (Cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your roast).
  3. While the roast is baking, prepare the crockpot sauce. In a slow cooker, combine 1 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup brown gravy, 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Cook the sauce on low for at least 4 hours, or until the onion and pepper are very tender.
  5. Once the roast is cooked, let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  6. Add the sliced roast beef to the crockpot sauce. Stir gently to coat.
  7. Cook on low for another 2 hours to allow the beef to absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  8. Serve the delicious roast beef on toasted French bread rolls. Optional toppings include horseradish, cheese, or extra sauce.
