Grandma Bea's Always Moist Roast Beef

By chels1884

Gram gave me this recipe just a few weeks before she passed away. I took for granted that I could call her when I made it the next time, but I'm going to try to remember exactly what she told me.

Ingredients

• 2-3 lb chuck roast or bottom round roast
• 1 package of onion soup mix
• 1.5 cups water
• ROASTING DISH WITH LID

Preparation

Step 1

Set oven to 425 and put roast into roasting dish and cook uncovered for 30 minutes.

Move temp down to 325, mix onion soup mix with water (about a cup and a half), pour over roast then cover and cook for 2.5-3 hours. Do not open oven or check roast.

Roast is done when fork tender. Allow roast to rest. Cut AGAINST the grain.
