Harvest Beef Roast with Homemade Gravy

I haven't done a roast in SO long! So I decided to do a special Harvest Roast. I just put it in the oven, it smells so good!

INREDIENTS

1 Largish Beef Roast
3 med. organic potatoes
1/2 bag frozen sliced carrots, rinse the ice off them.
2 red apples
1 Large yellow onion
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 Tbs. Italian seasoning
1 Tbs. garlic powder
1 cap full of liquid hickory smoke
2 Tsp. black pepper

DIRECTIONS
1. Cut the potatoes, apples, and onion into 2 inch cubes. Toss veggie mixture with flour and put in a 9x13 baking dish.

2. Place roast on top of veggies and sprinkle with remaining ingredients.

3. Tent baking dish with tin foil, and bake in 350 degree oven till meat thermometer reads an internal temperature of 155 degrees... I like my roast well done.

4. Take roast out of the oven and remove the roast to a serving platter LET IT REST for about 15 minutes before carving. Stir veggie mixture and remove veggies to a serving bowl. Save the liquid for making your very own brown gravy.

5. Measure your liquid and bring it to a boil in a sauce pan. Add half the drippings amount of flour... so if you measure 2 cups of roast drippings, add 1 cup of flour. reduce heat to medium, and cook till thickened.

Serve.
