Ingredients

• 10 medium carrots, divided
• 2 celery ribs, finely chopped
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 small green pepper, finely chopped
• 4 cups water
• 2 tablespoons browning sauce, divided
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 4 teaspoons seasoned pepper, divided
• 1 tablespoon celery salt
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 beef ribeye roast (3 to 4 pounds)

Directions

• Finely chop two carrots; place in a greased roasting pan. Add the celery, onion and green pepper. Combine the water, 1 tablespoon browning sauce, garlic powder, 3 teaspoons seasoned pepper, celery salt and Worcestershire sauce; pour over vegetables.
• Combine the remaining browning sauce and seasoned pepper; brush over roast. Place fat side up over vegetables. Cut remaining carrots into chunks; place carrots and potatoes around roast.
• Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°), basting every 30 minutes. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before carving.
