Roast and Homemade Beef Gravey

ROAST

3-4 pound beef roast
2 envelopes onion soup
water

Put roast in crock pot, put enough water in to cover 3/4 of the roast, put in onion soup packets.  Cook on low 7-8 hours.


Homemade Beef Gravy
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups cold beef stock or broth
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour until fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes.

Gradually whisk in cold stock. Reduce heat to low. Bring gravy to a simmer, and cook and stir until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, and season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper
