I couldnt find a nice roast so I used eye of round steaks and they were so tender they fell apart when taking them out to plate. Loved the flavor of the carrots, used a large tablespoon of garlic, and 18 year old balsamic vinegar. Didnt make the gravy today but spooned the juices over the meat and mashed potatoes. Thank you mikekey for a great tasting supper tonight! Made and reviewed for the Game Forum's I Recommend Tag Game.

This is really lovely. The gravy is so full of flavour, tomato, rosemary, balsamic, garlic - wow! Great recipe to throw together, leave all day and come home to a fantastic meal. The only change I made was to use fresh rosemary instead of dried. Served with Recipe #123403 and some steamed vegies. Top notch, thank you.

Mikekey, Great flavors! Thanks so much for posting. It was lovely to come home to after one of the toughest days. I did not have beef bouillon cubes or granules so I used beef consomme instead of the beef broth/cube combo. I also used 5 garlic cloves and lots of freshly cracked black pepper and fresh rosemary. Loved the flavor of the balsamic. **This was saved in my Top 2008 Recipes Cookbook!!

I added a tablespoon of brown sugar along with the balsamic and eliminated the rosemary. The results were great! My grandkids couldn't get enough of it. Next time I will cut back a little on the cooking time since I like pot roast a little firmer. I will also substitute fresh plum tomatoes for the canned. The 1 cup potion is a problem since most cans are about 2 cups and I like fresh better anyway. Only complaint was there were not 8 servings. My family of 4 left me with no leftovers.
