Roast Beef with Brown Gravy

I am a meat and potatoes girl.  One of my favorite meals is roast beef with brown gravy and roasted potatoes. 

This recipe is so full of flavor and much easier than one would think.

A roast is one of the easiest of meals to make, although it does take time to cook properly. 

Once you have seasoned, it can be placed in the preheated oven while you go about your other chores and it will be ready for the table in about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Making Roast Beef with Brown Gravy.

I use a mix of spices to season this roast – I just make a mix using paprika, Kosher salt, garlic powder, cracked black pepper, onion flakes, oregano and thyme.

Mix the spices together and rub over the outside of the roast.  Add a splash or red wine and then cook at 350 ºF for 20 minutes a pound plus 20 extra minutes.

When the roast is done, make your gravy from the pan drippings by cooking them  on the stove top with a bit of beef broth and extra wine if you wish. 

Thicken it with arrowroot and serve.
