Top Round Roast with Brown Gravy

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 225°F. Season the top round roast liberally with sea salt and crushed peppercorns.

Step 2

Place the wire rack in the center of the roasting pan then place the roast on it. Roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reaches 130-135°F.

Step 3

Carefully remove the roast from the oven and drizzle both sides with olive oil. Broil for 2-3 minutes per side to crisp then transfer it to a cutting board.

Step 4

Increase oven temperature to 450°F to preheat. Meanwhile, arrange the carrots, onion, celery, and garlic on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Roast for 20-25 minutes.

Step 5

Prepare McCormick® Brown Gravy Mix by whisking 2 cups of water with 2 packets of gravy in a small saucepan over medium heat stirring frequently. Once the gravy comes to a boil, reduce the heat and to low and simmer for 1 minute.

Step 6

Slice the roast and serve with the roasted vegetables and gravy.
