These days, many of us are health conscious and are reducing or eliminating high fat and high salt foods from our diets. Sometimes this leads to very boring meals. Today, though, the roast beef I fixed was anything but boring.
I used a small beef roast, about 2 pounds. I pierced it with a knife and rubbed in finely chopped garlic, black pepper, and about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. I put that in a glass baking dish and surrounded it with potatoes, carrots, onions, and sliced mushrooms. After peppering the veggies, I added about 1/2 cup water and covered it tightly with aluminum foil.
I roasted it at 350 degrees F. for about 2 hours. This made the roast done and tender without being too mushy or falling apart. The flavor was fantastic and there was absolutely no need for salt at all.
