For almost 43 years of married life, this is the way I've always fixed roast beef. Occassionally I'd try a new recipe without much success. My family loves it cooked this way.

How To Make roast beef with potatoes and carrots
-
1Mix flour with baking powder on waxed paper. Coat roast with flour. Salt and pepper to taste. Heat oil in a large skillet or dutch oven type pot. Brown the roast on all sides in the heated oil. Optional: You can sprinkle roast with a seasoned type salt or red pepper flakes if you like. Or use whatever herbs you like. But don't go overboard...it's good just with plain salt and pepper.
-
2Remove to a plate while you prepare the gravy in your left over grease.
-
3Gravy: Sprinkle 2 heaping Tablespoons of leftover flour (from where you dreged the roast) over the remaining oil in your pot. Stir and cook for a few minutes to brown...add a little water while browning to keep it from sticking. Then add your can of mushroom soup and 2 to 3 soup cans of water to browned flour; stir or whisk together. Your gravy will be thin but it will thicken as it cooks.
-
4Pour gravy in baking pan with the roast. Add vegetables.
-
5Bake covered in a preheated 400 degree oven for one hour. Then check to see if the vegetables are done.
-
6The vegetables are usually tender and done in 1 hour of cooking time. Remove them to a bowl or platter to keep warm.
-
7Continue baking the beef for another hour or until it is tenter. Cut roast up and serve with gravy and vegetables. Note: This recipe works for other cuts of roasts as well. Cooking times will vary depending on the size and type of roast you fix. Before cooking any roast I soak it in plain water for about 30 minutes to an hour and then drain it. This removes blood from the roast and improves flavor.
