Ingredients
- 1 (3-pound) beef roast, trimmed of excess fat
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 8 ounces button mushrooms
- 2 small onions, quartered
Gravy:
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 cup low-sodium beef stock
- 2 tablespoons gravy flour (recommended: Wondra)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Season the beef with salt and pepper, to taste.
Heat 2 tablespoons the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add the meat and sear on all sides.
Add the mushrooms and onions to a bowl and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss. Add to the skillet around the roast.
Put the skillet in the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer registers 130 degrees F, about 40 minutes. Remove the roast from the oven to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Remove the onions and mushrooms from the skillet.
While the beef is resting, prepare the gravy.
Put the skillet on low heat. Add the wine and stock, while scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Whisk in the flour until the sauce is thickened and smooth.
Slice the beef into very thin slices. Transfer to a platter and serve with the mushrooms, onions and gravy.

This recipe was great! The roast came out perfect. The gravy was awesome as well. My kids loved it. However the only thing I would change would be 1/2 cup of wine instead of 1 cup of wine. I used Cooking wine instead of regular drinking wine and it was a bit powering in smell/taste. Still very good tho'... I will be using this recipe again.

Made this for dinner tonight. It was really tasty! I didn't have wine on hand, so just used stock and finished off the gravy with a little heavy cream. Will definitely make this one again!!
