Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------- --------------------------------
2 1/2 pounds boned bottom round roast
1/4 pound thinly-sliced mushrooms
1 teaspoon butter
1 stalk celery --cut
3 medium carrots --cut in 3s
6 new potatoes --with skins
3 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup robust red wine
1/2 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon sage
1/2 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon crumbled sweet basil
1 cup beef consomme
3 cloves minced garlic
2 yellow onions --sliced
1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced parsley

Heat your broiler and season the roast with the pepper. Place the meat
on the broiler pan rack and broil about 4 inches from the heat until
brown on all sides - about 10 minutes or so. Reduce the oven temperature
to 325F. Combine the onions, garlic, consomme, wine, tomato paste, and
spices in a 4-quart Dutch oven. Add the beef and bring it to a simmer
over moderate heat.
Cover tightly and transfer to the oven, and cook for an hour and a half.
Add the potatoes, carrots and celery, and continue baking for another
hour, or until the meat is tender. Slice the meat into quarter-inch
thick slices, and arrange them, overlapping slightly, on a heating
platter, or a heated serving dish.
Set the potatoes and carrots around the meat; keep warm. Puree the
onions, celery and meat juices in an electric blender or food processor.
Add the butter to a heavy 10-inch skillet and set over moderate heat for
about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, until
lightly browned.
Stir in the gravy. Keep warm over low heat until ready to serve. Spoon
the sauce over the beef and sprinkle everything with parsley.
