Ingredients

1 Pound Beef Round
2 tablespoon Shortening
1 tablespoon Salt
2 Whole Cloves of garlic
2 lg Onions; sliced
2 lg Carrots; sliced
2 can (16 oz) Stewed Tomatoes
1/2 cup Water
2 tablespoon Flour
1/4 cup Cold water

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 325ÃÂ°F (165ÃÂ°C) 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 sautÃÂ© 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.
