Ingredients
10 servings

- •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

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.
