Braising makes this bottom round roast tender and delicious. Apple juice and beef broth team up as the braising liquid, and a bit of vinegar adds tanginess.

Serve this roast with mashed potatoes and broccoli or your choice of vegetables for a fabulous family dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 (3- to 4-pound) beef bottom round roast
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 3 to 4 slices bacon (cut in half crosswise)
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed beef broth
  • 4 tablespoons cider vinegar

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Rub beef roast with the garlic and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. 

  3. Heat oven to 325 F.

  4. In a large Dutch oven or covered oven-safe pot, cook the bacon with onion until onion is softened.
