Ingredients
Instructions
- Rinse the beef roast and coat it with self-rising flour.
- Place the coated roast in a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Sprinkle Worcestershire sauce, lemon-pepper seasoning, salt, and pepper over the roast.
- Slice the large onion and place on top of the roast.
- Surround the roast with halved potatoes and carrots.
- Fill the dish with water to 1/2-inch from the top.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake at 350°F for approximately 2.5 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the beef roast overnight in Worcestershire sauce and lemon-pepper seasoning. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder and salt. To save time, use pre-cut vegetables or frozen ones. Adjust the seasoning to your taste, and feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or green beans.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is hearty and can be served on its own, but you might enjoy pairing it with a fresh garden salad or crusty bread to soak up the juices. A glass of red wine complements the beef beautifully. For more beef recipes, consider trying Savory Shepherd's Pie for a comforting twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the roast and vegetables in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 325°F until heated through. You can also use a microwave, but be cautious to avoid overcooking the meat.

What can I do if I want to add more vegetables?
