HOW TO MAKE ROAST BEEF TENDER RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season the roast with salt and pepper to taste. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the outside of the roast on all sides in the butter. After the roast is browned, add 1/2 cup water to the pan, and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sage, and 1/2 teaspoon of mint onto the roast. Place onion and garlic into the pan if desired, and season with seasoning salt and red pepper flakes, if using.
• Cover the pot, and place the roast in the oven for 2 to 3 hours depending on how well done you prefer the meat to be. 2 hours for rare, and 3 for well done. Removed finished roast to a pan to keep warm.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet. Whisk flour into melted butter until smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Mix until a smooth paste is formed. Return to medium heat, and season with remaining sage and mint. Stir in the liquid from the roasting pan, and boil, stirring constantly until the gravy is thickened. Remove from heat. Slice the roast and serve with gravy poured over the meat.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add half the beef and sear until browned on all sides.  Transfer to a plate and repeat with the other half of the beef. Once all the beef is seared, add the beer and deglaze, scraping up all the browned bits with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 2 minutes, then remove skillet from heat.
• Into the slow cooker, add a small amount of beef stock (about ¼ cup), then add the bouillon and stir until dissolved. Add the seared beef and all the dripping from the plate, along with the carrots, onions, potatoes, deglazed beer from the skillet, the remaining beef stock, thyme, and onion soup mix. Give it a gentle stir to make sure everything is mixed.
• Set the slow cooker to low and let cook until beef and veggies are tender, about 8 to 9 hours. 
• Discard the thyme sprigs and season with salt and pepper to taste.
