Directions:
Heat oven to 325º. Place the roast on a rack in a roaster. Sprinkle with salts and pepper. Place the carrots, onions and celery around the roast. Add 1/4 cup water. Cover. Roast for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Remove the roast and let stand while you make the gravy.

To make the gravy, remove the vegetables. Strain the carrots through a strainer and set aside. Pour pan drippings (leave a little in the roaster) into a 2 cup measuring cup and set aside. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour in the roaster and scrape the bottom to make a smooth paste. Place over low heat. Slowly add the cold water stirring briskly to keep smooth. Add reserved pan juices, strained carrots, a squirt of ketchup and a dash of Worchestshire and cook until well blended.

Personal Notes:
Mom usually made Roast Beef on Sundays with mashed potatoes and a cucumber salad. The leftover roast beef made great sandwiches on Sunday night.
