Description

Rosemary and Garlic Roast Beef is a classic herb-crusted roast that’s tender, aromatic, and full of savory flavor. It’s perfect for holidays, Sunday dinners, or special occasions, featuring a rich blend of garlic and rosemary that enhances the natural taste of the beef.


Ingredients

Beef Roast

  • 3–4 lb beef roast (ribeye, sirloin, or rump)

Seasoning Mix

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup beef broth


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect roasting temperature for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the seasoning paste: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly to create a fragrant herb paste.
  3. Rub the roast: Evenly coat the beef roast with the garlic and rosemary mixture, massaging it into the surface to maximize flavor absorption.
  4. Arrange for roasting: Place the seasoned roast in a roasting pan. Pour 1 cup of beef broth around the roast (not over it) to keep the meat moist and to collect flavorful pan juices.
  5. Roast the beef: Cook the roast in the preheated oven for 2½ to 3 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness, using a meat thermometer to check internal temperature if preferred.
  6. Rest the roast: Remove the beef from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes; this allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moist, tender roast.
  7. Slice and serve: After resting, slice the roast against the grain and serve, optionally using the pan juices to make a savory gravy.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure your roast reaches your preferred doneness accurately.
  • Save the pan juices after roasting to make a flavorful gravy or sauce.
  • Allowing the roast to rest before slicing is essential for juicy, tender meat.
  • Choose a roasting pan with a rack to allow even heat circulation if possible.
