Seriously, cheap, tough cut of beef, slow cooking at 275.

Think about the vegetables she used as using others than she used will produce a
different flavor.

Do not, DO NOT, use celery root. Celery yes but celery root no! Did try it once
because of a a posters handle and while it "looked" like potatoes, I got a lot of questions
about what happened to them.

A short story about amy grand mothers oatmeal cookies. They were hard and spicy but
when she died no one could make them taste the same. Not my mother, not my sister,
nor my aunt, nor I. 40 years went by and there on a round box of Quaker Oats was a
recipe for oatmeal cookies. I tried it and it was the exact same cookie. I have
remembered that my mother, who was a good baker, measured everything and used
recipes for things she must have made a thousand times. While I never do, I think
people used to do this more. Failure was more costly in terms of total income. I can say
gee, I forgot the eggs and no one cares. Or the salt or the sugar.

So, I can visualize my grandmother using the recipe exactly as it appeared on the box
when she was a young woman and doing so each time she made them.

At the risk of overkill and posting stuff that is obvious, I would like to add that you should be sure to drege with flour, salt and pepper and whatever else you like and brown well on both sides before putting in the roaster. This seals in the juices. sure you already do this but some might not as it seems to take more trouble than making the roast itself. I have skipped this when in a hurry.
