How to Make Beef Roast

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of beef gravy, 8 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced), 1 packet (1 ounce) dry onion soup mix, and 1/4 cup Italian dressing.
  3. Place the beef roast (approximately 3-4 lbs) in a large roasting pan.
  4. Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the beef roast.
  5. Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil.
  6. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes per pound of beef. For example, a 3-pound roast would bake for approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes.
  7. During the last hour of cooking, add 1 lb baby carrots and/or 1 lb peeled potatoes around the roast, if desired.
  8. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest, covered, for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
  9. Carve the roast and serve with the delicious pan gravy. Enjoy!
