Description
Rosemary and Garlic Roast Beef is a classic herb-crusted roast that’s tender, aromatic, and full of savory flavor. Perfect for holidays, Sunday dinners, or special occasions, this roast combines garlic and fresh rosemary to create a mouthwatering crust that enhances the natural beef flavor.
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
- 1 cup beef broth
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) to ensure the roast cooks evenly at a moderate temperature.
- Prepare Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful rub.
- Apply Rub to Roast: Rub the herb mixture all over the beef roast, making sure to coat it evenly for maximum flavor.
- Set Roast in Pan: Place the seasoned roast into a roasting pan. Pour the beef broth around the roast to keep it moist during cooking and to provide flavorful pan juices.
- Roast the Beef: Roast the beef in the preheated oven for 2½ to 3 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy—medium rare is generally at 135°F (57°C).
- Rest the Roast: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat tender and juicy.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure your roast reaches the preferred doneness.
- Save the pan juices after roasting to make a delicious gravy.
- Letting the roast rest is crucial for juicy slices.
- If desired, deglaze the pan with red wine or additional broth for a richer gravy.
