Ingredients

  • 4 pounds beef sirloin roast
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 (.75 ounce) packet dry brown gravy mix
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 10 fluid ounces cola-flavored carbonated beverage

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Place meat in a roasting pan. Sprinkle carrots, celery and minced garlic around roast.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the brown gravy mix and water, mixing into a smooth paste. Add onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup and cola-flavored carbonated beverage. Pour over the roast.
  4. Cover pan, and cook 1 hour in the preheated oven.
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C), and continue cooking 2 hours. Remove from oven, and turn roast over so that the top is now covered with the gravy. Cover pan, and return to oven for a minimum of 2 hours.
  6. Remove from oven, and let meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
