Sunday Dinner - Beef Roast



One of the things I remember most about Sunday dinner as a kid is roast beef. I remember visiting my Grandpa Les in Two Harbors, Minnesota and he absolutely loved Grandma Jean's beef roast. Dale and I tried our own version today. We stopped by Kowalski's and got a 3 pound beef rump roast. According to directions found online, the rump roast should bake for an hour a pound. That made for 1 hour. The directions on the roast said the same thing and that the temperature should be about 130 degrees at least. We browned the roast in a cast iron skillet and put it in our Le Creuset roasting pot in the oven at 350 degrees. After an hour our meat thermometer read only 65 degrees. We upped the oven temperature to 375 and let it go a bit longer. It took another half hour to reach a temp of 145. To the Le Creuset pot the roast was in we added carrots and onions. We boiled some red potatoes for good measure. It all ended up to be very delicious!
