Prepare a great roast beef is easy, relatively inexpensive, and although may seem intimidating at first, there's little more to it than putting the roast in the oven and pulling it out when it's done.
3 lb Roast beef
3 lb Potatoes
4 oz Mushrooms
3 Carrots
1 oz Butter
1 Onion
2 tbsp Plain Flour
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ cup stock or dry red wine
Pre-heat oven to 375°F. Cut the carrots and potato into large chunks. Place the roast beef into a large roasting pan, surround with the vegetables. Then, add enough stock or water to fill half the pan. Cover tightly and place in oven, bake for 3 to 4 hours.
Remove ¾ of the juices, place in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Mix the flour and butter to a paste, whisk into the liquid adding the Worcestershire sauce just before serving. Serves 6
