Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons cooking oil
3 lbs beef roast
salt & freshly ground black pepper
sweet Hungarian paprika
1 carrot, chopped
1 leek, cleaned and chopped
1/4 celeriac, peeled and chopped or 2 stalks celery, chopped

  • In a large pan or Dutch oven, heat the butter or oil over medium high heat; season the roast all over with salt, pepper, and paprika.
