Ingredients for Beefy Onion Roast With Gravy

  • Mayonnaise
  • Onion Soup
  • 3-4 pound beef roast (chuck roast or similar)
  • Garlic Clove
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Beef
  • Red Potatoes
  • Celery Ribs
  • Carrots
  • White Onion

How to Make Beefy Onion Roast With Gravy

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 1 packet (1 ounce) dry onion soup mix.
  3. Peel and thinly slice 4 cloves of garlic.
  4. Using a sharp knife, cut several slits into the roast and insert garlic slices into the slits.
  5. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
  6. Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the roast.
  7. Surround the roast with 1 large onion, cut into wedges, and 2 carrots, peeled and chopped.
  8. Roast for 45 minutes at 375°F (190°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C). Continue cooking until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 150°F (65°C) for medium-rare (approximately 30-45 more minutes, depending on the size of your roast).
  9. To make the gravy:
  10. Remove the roast and vegetables from the roasting pan and set aside on a serving plate. Let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
  11. Place the roasting pan on two burners over medium heat. Add 1 cup beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce for about 10 minutes. Gradually whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until the gravy reaches your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  12. Serve the sliced roast with the rich gravy and roasted vegetables.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
