Answers:
3 or 4 pound beef roast (shoulder, chuck, arm or brisket)
1 onion, sliced or 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
This dish is so easy, and so good!. My favorite way to cook it is in the oven!. To do this you need a roasting pan or a deep casserole dish to put the roast in!. If it has a lid, so much the better, otherwise you will need a little tap water and some aluminum foil for a lid (more about this further down the recipe)!.

Put the meat into the pan or casserole!. Place the onion or dry soup mix on top of the meat!. Add a 1/2-cup water if you are covering the top with tin foil instead of a lid!. Otherwise you won't need water; the meat has water in it already that cooks out of it while it bakes!. Put the lid on the dish, or cover it tightly with tin foil!. Place the dish in the oven and cook it at 325° for 3 hours!. Check it every now and then!. If it seems dry add more water!. It probably won't need it!. There, now it is done!. The juice in the bottom of the pan can be thickened or not, and served as gravy!. I don't bother thickening it, but you could if you liked!. This is good with baked potatoes, candied carrots and steamed green beans!. Add some nice biscuits too for a meal that the fanciest company will be impressed by!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 lb onions (4 to 6 medium), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced

Add onions to pot and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring frequently, until pale golden, about 10 minutes!. Add garlic, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, 2 minutes!. Add wine and water and bring to a boil!. Return beef to pot, then cover tightly and braise in oven, turning once after 1 hour, until beef is very tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours total!.

Let beef stand, uncovered, in onion sauce about 30 minutes!.

If reserving some meat for beef salad, cut off one third of roast, and, when cool enough to handle, shred and toss with 3/4 cup onion sauce!. Cool completely, uncovered, then chill in an airtight container!.

While shredded beef cools, preheat oven to 350°F and transfer remaining beef to a cutting board and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices!. Season with salt and pepper and return beef to sauce!. Reheat, covered, 20 minutes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Here's how it works: Start with a basic roast recipe then choose a country & chart a flavor course for a delicious dinner entree with a foreign accent!. The roast should be at room temp before cooking!. Cut off as much of the fat as possible!. If necessary, tie the roast with kitchen string to form a compact mass!. Just before cooking, quickly rinse the meat under cold running water & pat dry with paper towels!.
