Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

In a large roasting pan, mix the onion, celery, carrot, pepper, and garlic. Stir in the beef broth, onion soup mix, and water until the soup mix dissolves. Season the roast with salt and coarsely ground pepper, then place it in the roasting pan.
- 3
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
- 4
Continue baking, basting every 30 minutes, until it reaches your desired doneness, about 2 more hours. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. It should be 130 to 140 degrees F (55 to 60 degrees C) for medium-rare, and 145 to 155 degrees F (63 to 68 degrees C) for medium-well. When the temperature reaches 110 degrees F (43 degrees C), begin checking more frequently.

Transfer the roast to a platter. Set the roasting pan with the vegetables and juices on the stovetop over medium heat. Simmer, mashing the vegetables against the sides of the pan with a large spoon, until the sauces reduce by about half; this may take 20 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the pan.
- 6
Strain the pan juices over the roast, and let it start to cool in the juices. When the roast has cooled, wrap it and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Reserve the juices in a separate container.
- 7
When the roast is cold, unwrap it and slice against the grain as thinly as possible. An electric meat slicer works best, but a sharp knife or an electric carving knife will also work well. Skim the fat from the reserved juices, then warm the meat in the juice over low heat. Adjust seasonings to taste before serving.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
