Italian beef recipe cooked in the oven, slowly roasted with Italian seasonings until tender. Serve on crusty Italian bread for a flavorful sandwich.

Ingredients

4 pounds boneless rump roast
6 cloves garlic, slivered
1 cup water
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
2 Make slits in roast with a sharp knife, and insert garlic slivers. Place roast in a pan not much larger than the roast. Pour water into the pan, and season roast with salt, black pepper, red pepper, and oregano.
3 Cover, and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours, basting occasionally. Remove from oven, and let cool in roasting pan. Meat should be very rare. Wrap tightly and refrigerate overnight.
4 The next day, remove roast from the pan, and slice as thinly as possible. Add a little water to the roasting pan, and heat on the stovetop, but do not boil. Stir to blend seasonings.
5 When au jus is hot, add sliced beef just long enough to heat through.
6 Serve on crusty Italian bread with au jus available for dipping.
