Ingredients
3 pound bottom round roast
1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup water
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to four hundred Fahrenheit.
2. Season roast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder; place in Dutch oven fat-side up with onions.
3. Cover and roast for 90 minutes.
4. Reduce heat to three hundred fifty Fahrenheit and cook for 3 hours, turning every 30 minutes.
5. Rest the meat for 20 minutes after removing from oven.
6. Whisk flour and water, then stir into pan drippings on stovetop to create gravy.
Notes
Leave the fat cap on the beef for natural basting.
Ensure the lid is tight to prevent moisture loss.
Resting for 20 minutes is critical for clean slicing.
