Lendenbraten

I usually don't fuss too much when making a beef roast.  A good roast doesn't need much done to it.  But, if I have some sour cream handy and want to make some delicious gravy, this is what I make.

Lendenbraten

beef roast, any size
one envelope onion soup mix
water (an inch or so up roast)

Put everything in your roasting pan, cover, and roast 300F for 30 minutes/pound.  Remove roast to cutting board and put pan on stove top, adding more water if needed for volume of gravy.  Mix 2 T cornstarch into 1 cup sour cream.  Carefully stir in sour cream.  Stir till thick, but don't boil.

Yum, yum.  I usually schedule french fries some time after making this roast -so good with this gravy.

That does sound like a good gravy, for fries; {I thought you Canadians called those "chips"!!!} What a fancy name for a fairly simple dish.

It depends. We have fish and chips, but we eat fries (as in french fries) though they are usually bought at the 'chip truck'. Chips more likely means potato chips.

Not a fancy name, just a yummy German one :)

We have fish and chips too- that's the only time fries are chips though. Do you use vinegar as a condiment in ON- they have it at all the restaurants in BC?

Any restaurant that regularly serves fries on the side will have vinegar on the table. "Fancy" restaurants bring it if you need it.
