How to Make Awesome Roast Beef

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Pat a 3-4 lb beef roast (chuck roast or bottom round recommended) dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Sear the roast in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. This step is crucial for developing rich flavor.
4. In the same skillet, add 1 cup of beef broth and 10 oz of condensed cream of mushroom soup. Stir to combine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
6. Roast for approximately 3-4 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers 190-200°F (88-93°C) for medium-rare to medium. Cooking time will vary based on the size and type of roast.
7. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
8. Optional: Thicken the pan juices by whisking in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) and simmering for a few minutes.
