10 servings

  • 5 pounds beef round roast
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried sage
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried mint
  • 0.125 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 0.125 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup cold water
  • 0.25 teaspoon dried sage
  • 0.25 teaspoon dried mint

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • 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 serve with gravy poured over top.
