Learned this from my grandmother and it never disappoints

This Oven Baked 3-Ingredient Au Jus Roast Beef slow-braises a tender beef chuck or rump roast in a savory mixture of beef broth and dry au jus seasoning. Tightly covered and baked low and slow until fork-tender, the roast is thinly sliced and returned to its warm, rich pan juices for an effortless, classic main dish.

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) and set out a deep baking dish or casserole dish.

2. Season roast: Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels, place it in the center of the baking dish, and press the dry au jus gravy mix evenly onto the top and sides of the meat.

3. Add broth: Slowly pour the beef broth around the sides of the roast into the dish, taking care not to wash off the top seasoning layer.

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

5. Rest and skim: Carefully remove the dish from the oven, transfer the roast to a cutting board, and let it rest for 10 minutes while skimming any excess fat from the liquid in the pan.

6. Slice and serve: Slice the rested roast thinly across the grain, return the slices to the baking dish to submerge in the hot au jus, and serve warm with extra pan juices spooned over top.
