I guest 1/4" slices are too thick - usually my husband slices the meat and maybe I should have let him, but our roast turned out very tough - hopefully it was just the meat I had bought, as I'd like to try this recipe again. The gravy was marginal, at best, though - needed more flavor - I thought for sure the Essence, onion, and salt which had already gone into it would have given it enough flavor - I had two hungry men and didn't have time to taste and adjust the flavor before serving. The rice was perfect and delicious, with or without the gravy. I still give the roast a 4 - it was really easy, and I'm not giving up on this recipe.

It was wonderful. Nice and juicy. Simple flavor but really good. Like what my Grandmom made. This is up my alley for time and prep. You have to cut it thinly for the full effect. I'm having this for Christmas dinner.

The roast was delicious as long as you slice it thinly, otherwise you will find it tough. The gravy is wonderful and a big hit. I did not make the rice.

Absolutely perfect rice. Followed the recipe exactly how it is stated. Perfect, fluffy, flavorful rice.

A great way to roast a toughish rump or eye round. I like to rub on lots of the essence, but with only a third as much cayenne. When you sear it up, it ends up like it's been blackened. It makes the gravy tasty as heck. Slice it against the grain as thin as you can.

The meat turned out absolutely perfect. I thought the gravy was a tad thin and unimpressive flavor-wise, but I will definitely make the roast again.

one of the best roasts' I've ever made, AND I even over cooked it just a bit. The key is to use a meat therm. as you can't really tell if it's done or not without it. I couldn't find mine so I guesstimated I’m embarrassed to say but still wonderful. The last hour I added some baby carrots which made them cooked without being mushy. When making my gravy I put the carrots along with the onions in a bowl and our guests wanted the carrot/onion recipe as well as the roast & gravy recipe. Even the kids went back for 2nds and 3rds. I made 2 roasts just incase, which was perfect because for the 2nd night with extended family still here all I did was add another can of low sodium beef broth to the gravy to make it less of a gravy and more of french dip broth, I shredded the meat to save on time cutting it up, threw it into the broth to moisten, heated it up on stove, drained the liquid into a bowl and VIOLA' buffet style make your own beef dips. THANKS SO MUCH FOR TWO NIGHTS OF HOG HEAVEN!

I'm not a cook and my culinary doing stops at pancakes. But I made this and my family loved it and said it was the best thing ever!

Awesome! I have made this 3 times in the last 3 weeks. The gravy is perfect everytime. The one time the piece of roast I used wasn't that great - too tough - but that was not the recipe's fault. Love it!
