A hearty Sunday roast featuring tender arm beef seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic salt, perfect for family gatherings and comfort food enthusiasts.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the arm roast in a flat Pyrex pan.
- Season both sides of the roast with salt, pepper, and garlic salt.
- Cover the pan with foil and cook in a preheated oven for about 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size of the roast.
- Pour brown water gravy and roast juices over the cooked roast.
- Mix, cover, and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavorful twist, consider adding garlic or herbs like rosemary and thyme to the seasoning. If you don’t have garlic salt, mixing minced garlic with regular salt works well. The optional onion can enhance the flavor as it caramelizes during cooking. For a deeper sauce, use Chicken B~B~Q Sauce as a glaze before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the roast with classic sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a hearty meal. It pairs wonderfully with Tate'S Easy Yeast Rolls For A Crowd for a complete Sunday dinner experience. Drizzle extra gravy over the roast for added flavor and serve with a fresh salad to balance the richness.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover roast should be cooled to room temperature before storing. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or place it in an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place it in the oven at 325°F until warmed through, ensuring it stays moist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cook the roast at a higher temperature?
While it's possible to cook at a higher temperature, this may result in a tougher roast. The lower, slower cooking method allows the meat to become tender and juicy, which is ideal for an arm roast. If you're in a hurry, consider searing the roast first to lock in moisture before reducing heat for the remainder of cooking.
What should I do if my roast is too dry?
If your roast comes out dry, you can slice it thinly and serve it with additional gravy or broth to add moisture. Another option is to mix it into a savory dish like Speedy Swiss Steak, where the sauce can help rejuvenate the meat and enhance its flavor.
Is it necessary to cover the roast while cooking?
Covering the roast while cooking helps to retain moisture, resulting in a more tender outcome. However, for a crispy exterior, you can remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Just keep an eye on it to prevent burning while allowing that delicious crust to form.
