My mom found this recipe in a farm journal soon after she and my dad got married. The tender beef has been a family favorite for years, and my dad often requests it. —Danielle Brandt, Ruthton, Minnesota

My whole family enjoyed this. However, I deleted the rosemary since we don't like it and I also cut down on the garlic salt and seasoned due to other reviewers saying it was too salty. It turned out just right for us.

Nice change from typical bbq recipes. It was very salty so I will adjust that next time.

My husband and I really liked this recipe. Will definitely make this again. I ate it with the au Jus, and my husband added bbq sauce to make bbq sandwiches. So good.

I have made this several times only I used a deer roast and you can not tell it is not a beef roast. Delicious. Also used a pork roast and it turned out excellent too.

We made this for the first time a few weeks ago and just bought the ingredients for another round. It is melt-in-your-mouth good! I substituted 2 cups low-sodium beef broth for the beef granules and water.

I tried this recipe for the first time about 4 months ago and have made it bi-weekly ever since. My entire family loves it. The meat is, as everyone else stated, incredibly tender and the au jus is great. I didn't have rosemary on hand the first time I made it and we loved it so much that I'm actually afraid to try it with the rosemary. I'll have to be adventurous one of these times and give it a try.
