For the Roast Beef:

  2. Combine all of the ingredients for the rub in a small bowl. Rub all over the meat.
  3. Place the meat in a baking pan with the fat side up.
  4. Roast 1½ – 2 hours or until the desired doneness is achieved.
  5. Transfer the roast to a carving board and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Carve the roast into thin slices and season as desired.

For the Home Fried Potatoes:

  2. Heat a large frying pan with the oil and add the onions and garlic. Let the onions and garlic sauté until the onions are soft and garlic fragrant.
  3. Combine the spices in a small bowl and add to the onions and toss. Add the potatoes and the vinegar and toss.
  4. Add another tablespoon or two of oil to the potatoes and toss. Taste a potato for seasoning.

    I’m a meat and potatoes kind of girl. I was raised on a farm and we ate simple meals like this. They are the very best.

    Have a fabulous day Catherine. Big hugs. ♥♥♥

    Catherine, That roast looks great! I don’t see tumeric in very many recipes either. For some reason, we’ve never cooked a bottom round roast beerf… We’ll have to give it a try. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    Dear Catherine,
    Spectacular post. You said it there is nothing like meat and potatoes. I do not eat meat as much anymore, but I know a few people that would LOVE these two recipes. Very nice ingredients on the Bottom Round Roast Beef. I also like the home fried potatos, the onions and the curry really give it a nice rounded flavor. (and a little kick) Wonderful! Thank you for sharing these yummy dishes.
    Blessings on this Monday…Dottie 🙂

    I don’t normally cook with tumeric, but your roast looks wonderful. I’ll have to add that into my spice rack. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday.
