List of Ingredients




olive oil cooking spray
1 4-pound (1.9 kg) rump roast
2 large onions, 1 pound (480 g) total, sliced
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 whole clove
2 bay leaves, broken in half
1 teaspoon (5 ml) crushed dried thyme
1 carrot, 2 ounces (60 g), peeled and sliced
1 rib of celery, 2 ounces (60 g), chopped
3 cups (720 ml) fat-free low-sodium beef broth
freshly ground pepper




Recipe



Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly spray an oven-proof covered roasting pan with cooking spray. Brown the roast on all sides over medium-high heat.
Surround the roast with the onion and garlic. Add the whole clove, bay leaves, thyme, carrot, celery, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer on top of the stove. Cover and place pan in the oven. Roast until the beef is fork tender, about 3 1/2 hours.
Remove the roast and let stand on a carving board, covered with a sheet of aluminum foil for 15 minutes before slicing.
Transfer the vegetables and pan juices to a large strainer; discard the clove and bay leaves. Using the back of a large spoon, force the vegetables through the strainer to thicken the pan juices to make a gravy. Remember to incorporate the brown caramel colored bits around the sides of the roaster. Remove and discard any visible fat. Place the gravy in a saucepan and heat, stirring until thickened and smooth. Season to taste with pepper.
To serve, slice the pot roast into thin slices against the grain and nap with the gravy.
