Ingredients

  • Meat thermometer a must
  • Serving Size: 1/4 cup • Servings: 12 • Points +: 0 • Smart Points+: 0
  • 2 to 3 lb top round fat removed, or eye of round roast
  • 3 cups beef stock
  • salt to taste
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 onion quartered
  • Toothpicks

Instructions

  1. Remove roast from refrigerator 1 hour before cooking so that it reaches room temperature.
  2. Add 1 cup of beef broth to the pan drippings, stirring to deglaze the bottom of the pan.
  3. Trim all the fat off the meat to keep it lean.
  4. Pour it into a small pot and heat on medium.
  5. Rub the meat with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  6. Add 3 tbsp flour to remaining broth and mix well.
  7. Using toothpicks, adhere onion pieces to the top of the roast.
  8. Pour it into the pot and whisk over low flame.
  9. Place the thermometer all the way into the center of the meat.
  10. Add all drippings accumulated from cutting the roast beef into the pot, bring too a boil and stir until it thickens, simmering on low a few minutes.
  11. Place in a pan and set your oven anywhere between 300° to 350°.
  12. Adjust salt and pepper.
  13. Roast until the thermometer reads 130° for rare, 140° for medium rare, 150° for medium, and 155-160° for well done.
  14. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest 10-20 minutes before you cut it so that the juices are distributed evenly. I always remove my roast beef from the oven when it is 135° for medium rare. The temperature will rise an additional 5 degrees as it sits.
