Biff's Basic Roast Beef
QFC was having an insane sale on beef roasts earlier this week (like 99¢/lb or something).

one 3-4 lb boneless round beef roast
about 1 tsp onion flakes (or onion powder)
about 1 tsp garlic powder (or garlic salt)
about 1 tsp oregano
about 1 tsp basil
about 1 tsp salt (omit if using garlic salt)
about 1 tsp pepper

Combine spices. Dry rub on beef roast. Pre-heat oven to 425° (use convection roast setting if possible). Place pork roast directly on a shelf rack (with a drip pan on a shelf beneath the rack on a lower shelf) and roast for about 8 minutes to sear the outside (see picture). Lower temperature to 350° and roast (using non-convection heat) until meat thermometer reads 150°, or approximately 2 hours. Baste roast occasionally with Worcestershire sauce. Let roast stand for 15 minutes before serving.

Serve with mashed potatoes and roasted (or steamed) vegetables. For gravy:

½ cup boiling hot water
¼ cup red wine
1 cup beef broth
1 tbs flour
salt to taste

Pour boiling hot water in drip pan and whisk to loosen particles. Whisk flour into broth and combine with drippings/water mixture and wine in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to boil. Serve gravy hot.
