Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degree F

Step 2

With a sharp knife, cut 8 - 10 slits in roast; insert garlic into slits.

Step 3

Sprinkle meat with salt, pepper, thyme, onion powder evenly on both sides.

Step 4

Flour both sides of beef, being careful that the garlic stays in tact.

Step 5

In a Dutch oven or deep skillet, brown meat in oil; on both sides for about 4 -5 min per side,drain. Place beef in roaster or deep baking dish.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, mix the beef broth, soup, and bouillon paste. Add this to the hot skillet you just browned the beef in. Scape any browned pieces on the bottom of pan. Add the sliced onion, bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Pour the broth mixture over the beef. Cover with foil and lid. Bake for 2 1/2 - 3 hours. ( I had a full Roaster as I doubled the recipe )

Step 8

Check beef for tenderness after about 2 1/2 hours with a fork. It should be nice and tender to where it wants to fall apart. If not, cover and bake another 30 minutes or so.

Step 9

Remove beef from broth to serving platter. The broth should not need thickened any further. Use the gravy for noodles, mashed potatoes, or the beef. It is sooo good!

Step 10

Enjoy!
