Actual Roast Beef

Our crockpot was out on loan so I actually had to dig up a recipe for roasting beef in the oven. And you know - it's much better than crockpot-stewed beef. Take the roast (I used about a three-pound rump roast) and dredge it in flour. Heat some bacon grease in a dutch oven or a large cast-iron skillet. Brown the roast on all sides. Add one onion, coarsely chopped, and one large clove of garlic, sliced. Salt and pepper to taste. Add two cups beef stock if you've got it, or one beef bouillion cube and two cups water if you don't. Bake at 350 for about three hours.
