Learned this from my grandmother and it never disappoints

This Oven Baked 3-Ingredient Au Jus Roast Beef features a tender boneless chuck or rump roast slow-braised with dry au jus mix and savory beef broth. Baked low and slow under foil, the meat transforms into fork-tender slices bathed in a rich, flavorful brown gravy that is perfect for pairing with mashed potatoes or warm bread.

Oven Baked 3-Ingredient Au Jus Roast Beef

Ingredients:

Step-By-Step Directions:

1. Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Choose a deep baking dish or casserole dish that comfortably holds the roast. Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels and place it in the center of the dish.

2. Season beef: Sprinkle the dry au jus gravy mix evenly over the top and sides of the roast, pressing it gently onto the meat to coat it well.

3. Add broth: Slowly pour the beef broth around the base of the roast into the dish, being careful not to wash off the seasoning on top.

4. Cover and bake: Cover the dish tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil or a fitted lid. Bake for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.

5. Rest roast: Carefully remove from the oven and discard the foil. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Skim any excess fat from the liquid remaining in the baking dish.

6. Slice and serve: Slice the roast across the grain into thin slices. Return the sliced beef to the warm au jus in the baking dish, spooning extra gravy over top before serving warm.
