Was looking for a different gravy to slow cook my roast in. This is IT! Something different always scares the men in our family...and this did. Then they TASTED it! AWESOME 5 star recipe...thanks for sharing!

My dad (bless his heart) bought 4 sirloin tip roasts on a "buy one get one free" deal. I think sirloin tip roasts are just about the most awful - tough, dry cuts of beef there is, but he loves pot roasts so he presented these to me. I reluctantly defrosted one the other day to cook and wanted to try a different recipe and found this one. Pretty much followed this to a tee except after browning I used my crock pot in an attempt to tenderize the beast. I did use beef broth in lieu of the water and it turned out pretty good - it was somewhat tender but still had that dry texture but that is due to the cut of meat and not the recipe. The gravy was tasty.

My Mom used to make something similar with only peppers for veggies. She'd shred the roasted beef and serve it all over rice. This was a huge hit with my potroast-loving husband who's very um ... discerning. Yeah, discerning. Thanks for sharing this!

This is so yummy. I add potatoes and a cup of beef broth just to suit our tastes but this recipe is perfection. Thankyou Shirley!

This is without a doubt the worst pot roast I ever tasted! If you like real Yankee pot roast, don't even think about wasting your money on this recipe.

It's been forever since I have made a roast & we really enjoyed this! I had a bit of spicy bloody mary mix in the fridge & I went w/ that instead of opening up a bottle of tomato juice for just 1/2 cup. After adding the other ingredients, I couldn't detect any spicyness so it worked very well. I did sear my roast (I used a 3 and 1/2 lb. black angus rump roast) but then moved it to the oven to bake. I added some quartered, butter golds when I added the onions & carrots. Hubby, who normally insists on ketchup on his roast, really liked the gravy. Thansk for a tasty recipe Shirley Kidd!

I've made lots of pot roasts in my time, but this recipe is the BEST I've ever used. Absolutely delicious! I used balsamic vinegar instead of cider vinegar, because that was all I had on hand. I also baked the pot roast in a large covered pot in the oven. Those were the only changes I made to the recipe. The meat and vegetables were moist and flavorful, the gravy is just fantastic -- this recipe is a real keeper!
