Easy Roast Beef

• Olive oil spray
• 1 5-pound beef rump roast, all visible fat discarded
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Chili Powder (page 277) or no-salt-added chili powder
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
• 1 large rib of celery, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup dry red wine (regular or nonalcoholic) (plus more as needed)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (lowest sodium available)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. Lightly spray a roasting pan with olive oil spray.
3. Set aside.
4. Rub the beef on all sides with the oil.
5. Sprinkle with the Chili Powder.
6. Using your fingertips, gently press the Chili Powder so it adheres to the beef.
7. Transfer the beef to the roasting pan.
8. Put the onion, carrots, and celery around the beef.
9. In a small bowl, stir together the wine and Worcestershire sauce.
10. Pour over the beef.
11. Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the beef registers almost the desired doneness.
12. If the beef begins to dry out during cooking, baste with additional wine.
13. Dont use the drippings for basting.
14. Leaving the pan juices in the pan, transfer the beef to a cutting board, retaining the pan juices.
15. Let stand, lightly covered with aluminum foil, for 10 to 15 minutes to continue cooking.
16. Thinly slice the beef.
17. Arrange on a platter.
18. Meanwhile, skim the fat from the pan juices or remove the juices with a bulb baster and discard the fat.
19. Stir the salt into the pan juices.
20. Spoon over the sliced beef.
21. Use a meat thermometer or an instant-read thermometer to determine the internal temperature.
22. To be safe, cook beef to at least 160F.
23. For well-done, cook to 170F.
24. A gravy separator, which looks like a measuring cup with a spout coming from the bottom, makes it easy to remove the fat from pan juices.
25. Pour all the pan juices into the separator.
26. After the fat rises to the top, simply pour the fat-free juice out of the bottom until the fat layer falls to the level of the spout.
27. Discard what remains in the separator.
