Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper together in a bowl. Dredge roast in flour mixture to evenly coat.

Step 3

Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat; brown roast in melted butter, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer roast to an oven bag and place into a 13x9-inch casserole dish.

Step 4

Whisk condensed beef consomme, water, garlic, onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl; pour into the oven bag over the roast. Seal the bag and cut 6 small slits in the top of the oven bag for ventilation.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour 45 minutes; add carrots, mushrooms, and onion to the oven bag and bake until vegetables are tender and roast is cooked through, about 45 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
