Roast Beef in an Oven Bag

Roast Beef in an Oven Bag turns out exceptionally tender, with the meat bathed in a rich consomme-onion gravy that seeps into every slice. Earthy mushrooms, sweet carrots, and mellow onions round out the flavor, while a hint of Worcestershire and garlic adds depth. It’s a cozy, family-style dinner perfect for Sunday suppers or casual gatherings.

Roast Beef in an Oven Bag
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Whisk the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a bowl. Dredge the roast in the flour mixture to coat it evenly.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat; brown the roast in the melted butter, about 5 minutes on each side. Move the roast to an oven bag and set it in a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

  4. 4

    Whisk the condensed beef consomme, water, garlic, onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl; pour the mixture into the oven bag over the roast. Seal the bag and cut 6 small slits in the top for ventilation.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 45 minutes; add the carrots, mushrooms, and onion to the oven bag and continue baking until the vegetables are tender and the roast is cooked through, about 45 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
