Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325ðF (165ðC) if using an oven-safe pot, or prepare a heavy kettle on the stovetop.
  2. Pat the beef round dry and dredge it in the 2 tablespoons of flour, coating evenly on all sides.
  3. Season the floured meat generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Heat the shortening in a heavy kettle or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  5. Brown the beef slowly on all sides until a deep golden crust forms, then remove meat and set aside.
  6. Add the whole garlic cloves to the pot and sauté briefly until lightly browned, then remove and set aside.
  7. Return the beef to the pot and add the sliced onions, sliced carrots, and stewed tomatoes with their juices.
  8. Add the reserved garlic cloves and 1/2 cup of water to the pot.
  9. Bring the liquid to a simmer, cover the pot tightly, and reduce heat to low.
  10. Simmer gently for about 3 to 3.5 hours, turning the roast occasionally, until the beef is fork-tender.
  11. Add more water if the liquid reduces too much during cooking.
  12. Remove the beef and vegetables from the pot and keep warm.
  13. Strain the cooking liquid into a measuring cup or bowl, discarding any large solids if desired, or keep them for a chunkier gravy.
  14. In a small bowl, whisk the 2 tablespoons of flour with 1/4 cup of cold water until smooth.
  15. Stir the flour slurry into the hot broth in the pot and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the gravy thickens.
  16. Slice the beef and serve with the vegetables and gravy.
