Ingredients
• Pot Roast:
• 5 pounds beef round roast
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter
• ½ cup water
• 1 medium onion, sliced (Optional)
• 1 clove garlic, minced (Optional)
• ½ teaspoon dried sage
• ½ teaspoon dried mint
• ⅛ teaspoon seasoning salt (Optional)
• ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes (Optional)
• Gravy:
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• ½ cup cold water
• ¼ teaspoon dried sage
• ¼ teaspoon dried mint
Instructions
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
• Make the pot roast:
• Season roast all over with salt and pepper.
• Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown roast on all sides in the butter, 6 to 8 minutes. Add water, onion, and garlic around the roast, then sprinkle sage, mint, seasoning salt, and pepper flakes over top.
• Cover the pot and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake until tender and cooked through, about 2 hours for rare or 3 for well-done. Remove from the oven; transfer roast to another pan and keep warm. Set aside pan drippings for the gravy.
• Make the gravy:
• Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Remove from the heat and add cold water; whisk until a smooth paste is formed.
• Return to the stovetop over medium heat. Stir in sage and mint, then pour in pan drippings. Boil, stirring constantly, until gravy is thickened.
• Slice the roast and pour gravy over the top.
• Serve and Enjoy!
