  1. I used to make this all the time about 10 years ago when I first saw this in "Taste of Home" magazine. I lost my copy and wanted to make it this Sunday for dinner. This is so easy to make and it does make an incredibly tender and flavorful roast! The gravy makes a perfect topping for the beef and a side of mashed potatoes as well! Thanks for posting this and ending my search!
