Ingredients
Instructions
- Salt and pepper the round tip roast and brown it uncovered at 400°F for 45 to 55 minutes in a deep roasting pan.
- In a bowl or measuring cup, combine the onion soup mix, 3 cups of boiling water, and the can of brown gravy to make the gravy mixture.
- Add the large onion, carrots, and potatoes, all cut up, to the pan with the roast and gravy mixture.
- Cover the pan tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 225°F and let the roast cook for the entire day, approximately 8 to 10 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful roast, consider marinating the round tip roast overnight in a mixture of the onion soup mix and your choice of spices. If you're out of brown gravy, you can use homemade beef broth or beef stock as a substitute. Additionally, adding vegetables like carrots and potatoes enhances the dish and provides a complete meal. Adjust the cooking time based on the size of the roast for optimal tenderness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the roast with the rich gravy poured over it, accompanied by the tender vegetables from the pan. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or a fresh garden salad. For a comforting dessert, consider serving Angel Food Trifle to round out the meal and provide a light finish after the hearty roast.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover roast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, slice the meat and warm it gently in a skillet with a splash of broth or gravy over low heat, ensuring it doesn't dry out. For longer storage, consider freezing the sliced roast, which can last up to 3 months.
