Beef Bottom Round Roast

While shopping at my local market, I noticed the manager’s special on the Beef Bottom Round Roast. We haven’t had anything like this for awhile, so I purchased one for dinner tonight.

The recipe below has quite a few ingredients, but you can add and subtract to things. For instance, I always like to add at least two to three fresh carrots per person. Everyone loves those tender carrots.

I also use a large stainless steel roasting pan with a lid.

Ingredients

• Beef Bottom Round Roast, approximately 3 pounds
• Red Chopped Onion, chopped, 1 cup
• Garlic Cloves, 3 minced
• Olive Oil, 2 tablespoons
• Beef Stock, 2 1/2 cups
• Better than Bouillon, 1/2 teaspoon
• Wine, 1/2 cup, optional
• Fresh Thyme. 3 springs plus additional for garnish
• Dry Parsley, 1 teaspoon
• Carrots, approximated 8 fresh peeled, cut into large chunks
• Celery, 3 stalks, cut into large chunks
• Small Tomato, one plum size, diced
• Salt and Pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Spray roasting pan with lid with non stick spray.
2. In a large pan add the red onions and garlic to olive oil, cook about 5 minutes. Add the Beef Bottom Roast and slightly brown each side. When the meat is browned, add the beef stock, Better than Bouillon, and wine. Bring to a boil.
3. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place the onions, garlic and Beef Bottom Round Roast with cooking liquid into roasting pan.
4. Add fresh thyme, carrots, celery, tomato to the roasting pan. Sprinkle dry parsley over the meat. Cover with lid.
5. Bake for approximately 3 hours. When done, the meat is extremely tender and will flake with a fork. Use a meat thermometer to test for doneness if needed.
6. Serve on large plate with sprigs of thyme and rosemary. Sprinkle with salt and pepper as needed. The beef stocks usually contains some salt, so taste prior to salting.

I harvested and used a couple of small onions and tomato from my garden for this recipe.

Ending note on Beef Bottom Rounds Roast Recipe

I served this delicious meal with corn on the cob and fresh broccoli, but mashed potatoes would have tasted good too.

The meat and carrots are so tender and tasty.
