Herb-Garlic Beef Roast

Sometimes I try to find recipes that are super quick and are very easy to prepare. This is one of them. Now it isn't the best tasting recipe I have ever had...but it is a time saver b/c you use already package cooked beef. You can find it in the refrigerated section. This recipe just jazz's up what is already in the container a little to make it taste a little more homemade. Let me know if you add anything to it or what you think about it.

1 17-oz. pkg. refrigerated cooked beef roast with the au jus
1 lb. small red potatoes
3 medium carrots
1 Tbsp. cooking oil
Frsshley grounded pepper
3 Tbsp. chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
3 to 6 cloves garlic, minced depending on how much you like garlic

In large skillet cook beef roast, covered, over medium heat for 10 minutes. Uncover and simmer for 5 minutes more, until juices are slightly reduced. Meanwhile, quarter potatoes. Peel and diagonally slice carrots in 3/4-inch pieces. Place vegetables in microwave-safe dish. Drizzle with cooking oil and sprinkle with pepper; toss to coat. Tightly cover with lid or plastic wrap. Microwave on high (100% power) for 10 minutes or until tender.

For herb-garlic mixture, in a small bowl combine parsley and garlic. To serve, stir vegetables into skillet with beef and juices. Divide among serving dishes. Sprinkle with herb-garlic mixture. I serve this with mashed potatoes or rice. Makes 4 servings.
