Beef: Or similar cut of meat such as a rump roast
Herbs: If using fresh herbs, increase to 1 or 1-1½ teaspoons each.
Beef broth: I recommend using reducing sodium broth or stock so that you can control the sodium levels.
Prep ahead: To speed up the morning prep, trim the fat and cube the roast, and cut up onions and mushrooms the night before.
