Return vegetables to oven if longer cooking is necessary. Tent roast with foil and let stand 15 minute before carving. Roast should continue to rise about 5° in temperature to 140° for rare, 160° for medium.).

• Stir in brown gravy and currant jelly.
• Cook over medium heat about 5 minute or until bubbly and jelly is melted, stirring occasionally.

• This recipe provides 8 servings of vegetables athough a boneless rib eye roast will yield three 3 ounce servings of cooked meat so increase vegetables if serving more than eight.
