Ingredients for Best Ever Roast Beef

  • Rump Roast
  • Onion Soup Mix
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

How to Make Best Ever Roast Beef

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup, and 1/2 cup beef broth until completely smooth.
  3. Place a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 2 feet x 2 feet) on a large baking sheet.
  4. Place the roast (approximately 3-4 pounds) on the foil-lined baking sheet.
  5. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the roast, ensuring all sides are coated.
  6. Fold the foil over the top of the roast, creating a sealed packet. Do not let the foil touch the meat directly.
  7. Crimp the edges of the foil tightly to create a secure seal.
  8. Using a fork, prick the foil several times to allow steam to escape.
  9. Place the roast in the preheated oven.
  10. Bake for 1 hour per pound, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or your desired doneness.
  11. Carefully remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before opening the foil.
  12. Carefully open the foil, allowing steam to escape slowly.
  13. Remove the roast from the baking sheet and place it on a serving platter.
  14. Pour the pan juices (gravy) from the foil into a serving bowl.
  15. Slice the roast thinly against the grain and serve with the gravy.
  16. Enjoy!
