Step 4: While beef is resting, skim fat from the roasting pan juices. Place pan on top of range, add broth and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to incorporate all roast drippings. Reduce heat and simmer broth and vegetables for 10 minutes.

Step 5: Purée vegetables and broth in a blender or food processor. Pour back into the roasting pan or large saucepan, and return to heat. Thicken with flour and water mixture over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the gravy with the sliced roast and your other favorite side dishes.
Tis the season for spectacular meals!
