2
ingredients
- 3 -4 lbs beef roast
- 2 large onions (chopped course)
- 2 1⁄2 cups water
- salt and pepper
directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Place 1/4 of the onion on the bottom of the pan. If you do no have roasting pan you can use a cake pan, you will need to use foil to make a tent.
- Trim excess fat from the meat. Salt and pepper generously both sides. If you use the Worcestershire sauce cut back on the salt.
- Place the roast in the pan, add water and the remaining onions. Make sure to have onions on top of the roast.
- Cover and put in the oven for about an hour.
- Then lower the temp to 350°F for another 1-1 1/2 hours depending on how rare or cooked you want you meat.

•My additions are when the mood strikes:
- Yellow and red peppers.
- A-1 Steak sauce or Worcestershire sauce.
- Garlic.
- Over the years I have made this with a frozen roast and only had to cut back the water and add about another hour or so to the cooking time.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am married to the greatest man! He is my willing food taste tester. I have had the previlage of learning to cook from my Grandmother. She owned 3 resturants and has cooked her entire life until she became ill and then she was the conducter and I the band. I learned more living with her in the last 10 years and it has made me a woman confident in most areas of cooking and will make me a good wife and mother. Any recipe I submit is dedicated to her and her ability to smell a dish and make. To take simple foods and make them sing. She gave me our family cookbook which was her Grandmother's and is very old. I hope to one day master those recipes.
