Ingredients

  • 4 to 6 lb. lean roast beef
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. coarse black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp. oil

Method

  • In a large heavy pot, add the oil and beef.
  • Brown meat on both sides.
  • Add water to cover meat.
  • Cook over medium heat until you can easily break meat apart with a fork, usually 4 to 5 hours. While cooking, watch the water and don't let it boil away until the meat starts to get tender, then let it boil down to where you have only 1 1/2 cups of broth left.
  • Keep it at this level until the meat is done.
  • When the meat is done, carefully remove it to a serving dish.
  • The remaining broth can be used as is or you can thicken it by mixing 1 tablespoon flour to 1/2 cup water and then add to the broth for a thicker gravy.
