Ingredients

5 pound Rolled roast of beef
1 teaspoon Salt
6 medium White onions, peeled
6 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced lengthwise
6 small New potatoes, unpeeled
6 large Mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
2 whole Bay leaves
1 teaspoon Arrowroot
to taste Pepper

Directions

1
Presoak the largest clay pot and its lid in water for fifteen minutes to prevent cracking.
2
Trim excess fat from the beef roast and rub the meat thoroughly with salt and pepper.
3
Place the seasoned beef into the drained clay pot and insert a meat thermometer into the center of the roast.
4
Add the peeled onions, sliced carrots, unpeeled potatoes, sliced mushrooms, chopped parsley, and bay leaves around the beef in the pot.
5
Sprinkle the vegetables with 1 teaspoon of salt and a dash of pepper.
6
Cover the pot and place it in a cold oven.
7
Set the oven temperature to 480 degrees Fahrenheit (249C) and begin cooking.
8
Check the meat thermometer after 40 minutes for rare beef, 1 hour for medium, or 90 minutes for well-done.
9
Remove the pot from the oven when the thermometer reads just below your desired final temperature to avoid overcooking.
10
Pour the cooking liquid from the pot into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
11
Mix arrowroot with a small amount of cold water to form a slurry, then stir into the boiling liquid to thicken the gravy.
