Directions

  1. Rub roast with butter. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper.

  2. Roast at 350 degrees for 22 minutes per pound (temp should reach about 130) for a med rare roast.

  3. Remove to platter. Tent with foil while you make the gravy. Roast will continue to cook.

  4. Add the wine to the pan juices. Stir in the flour to make your roux. Gradually add the beef broth, stirring or whisking as you add it. Let the mixture heat until boiling, 2-5 minutes. Gravy should thicken as it boils.
