Pot Roast Dinner

	1 spray(s) cooking spray
	2 1/2 pound(s) lean beef round, well trimmed (use boneless bottom round rump roast)
	1/2 tsp black pepper
	1/4 tsp table salt
	2 large onion(s), sliced
	1 3/4 cup(s) water
	1 packet(s) onion soup mix
	1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar, or red wine vinegar
	1 tsp dried thyme
	8 medium uncooked red potato(es), scrubbed and quartered (about 1 3/4 pounds)
	1 pound(s) baby carrots
	1 tbsp parsley, fresh, chopped (for garnish)

Place oven rack in lowest possible position; preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a Dutch oven (a large pot with a tight-fitting lid) with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat.

Sprinkle roast with pepper and salt; place in pot and scatter onions around roast. Cook, turning roast and stirring onions occasionally, until roast and onions are browned, about 8 minutes. Pour water into pot; stir in soup mix, vinegar and thyme, and bring to a boil.

Cover pot and bake in oven for 1 1/2 hours. Place potatoes and carrots around roast; cover and bake until roast and vegetables are tender, about 2 hours more. Remove one potato from pot and puree it in a blender; stir pureed potato into gravy to thicken it.

Transfer roast to a cutting board and slice against grain into 16 slices. Garnish with parsley and serve with vegetables and gravy. Yields about 2 slices of meat, 1 cup of vegetables and 1/4 cup of gravy per serving.
