Recipe Ingredients:
1 (2 1/2 pound) boneless bottom round roast
1/4 teaspoon black ground pepper
2 onions, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 cup water
3 tablespoons tomato paste

1/2 teaspoon crushed dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried basil
4 potatoes, peeled and quartered
3 carrots, peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces

1/4 pound mushrooms
Cooking Directions:
- Preheat broiler.
- Season boneless bottom round roast with pepper. Place meat in an oven broiler pan, broiling until brown on all sides.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
- In a heavy oven-safe skillet, combine onions, garlic, beef broth, water, tomato paste, thyme, marjoram, and basil. Add roast and bring to a low simmer. Cover tightly, return to oven, and cook for 1 1/2 hours.
