Tender Roast with Veggies and Gravy

I've tried many-a-roast recipe. Roast is one of my favorite foods. When I was pregnant with my son, I was spoiled by my mother-in-law's roast. So much so that when the leftovers were gone, I cried. This is the first roast recipe that has even come close to how good hers is. It definitely tops any roast recipe that I have made to date. It's tender and packed with flavor.

Just how good was this recipe? I found one of our kitties, Muffin, trying to sneak a piece off my daughter's plate that she didn't eat :)

Of course, once you was caught - she didn't want to eat it anymore :P
