For the Salmon:
- 3-4 pounds beef roast (such as chuck, ribeye, or sirloin)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
For the Caramelized Onion Gravy:

- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon flour (optional, for thickening)
- Salt and pepper, to taste.
How to make Roast Beef With Caramelised Onion Gravy:
Prepare the Roast:Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Rub the beef roast with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary.
Sear the Beef:In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).
Roast the Beef:Place the seared roast in a roasting pan and cook in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Caramelize the Onions:While the beef is roasting, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 20-30 minutes.
Make the Gravy:Once the onions are caramelized, add the flour (if using) and stir for a minute. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, bringing it to a simmer. Cook for 5-10 minutes until thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Rest and Slice:Once the roast is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes before slicing.
Serve:Slice the roast beef and serve with caramelized onion gravy drizzled over the top. Enjoy with mashed potatoes, vegetables, or crusty bread!
Recipe Notes :
Beef Cut:Choose a cut that suits your preference; chuck roast is flavorful and tender when slow-cooked, while ribeye offers great marbling.
Cooking Method:You can also cook the roast in a slow cooker for 6-8 hours on low for a tender result.
Caramelized Onions:Make the gravy ahead of time and reheat it before serving for added convenience.
Thickening Gravy:If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can mix a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) and add it to the simmering gravy.
Leftovers:Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors often deepen when reheated!
