Beef with Onion Gravy Orzo #SundaySupper

Beef with Onion Gravy Orzo serves tender slow-roasted beef and onions in gravy made from it’s own juices. Layer it over orzo pasta for a delicious dinner.
Anything with gravy on it will get my guy’s attention. Thick, peppery beef gravy made with red wine and onions over pasta gets my attention.

Beef with Onion Gravy Orzo
For this week’s Sunday Supper we are sharing dishes made using orzo. Orzo pasta works as a great base instead of rice. This pasta tastes great in soups too.
Today I decided creamy orzo would be a great base for my Beef with Onion Gravy Orzo dish.
Beef with Onion Gravy Orzo
You could classify this as a make ahead meal. I started with a Certified Angus Beef® brand bottom round roast cooked low and slow in my crock pot. I added onions, wine, broth, thyme, hickory salt and cracked pepper. This #bestangusbeef cooked for 5 hours into a tender, juicy perfection!
I rest the roast, thin slice it and set aside.
To make the gravy, I skim the fat from the broth. A roo made with butter and flour thickens the broth and turns it into rich gravy. Orzo adds the perfect base to serve this meal.
