Ingredients
Scale
Beef Roast
- 3 pounds beef roast (chuck, ribeye, or sirloin)
Seasoning Paste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Other
- 1 cup beef broth
- Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for roasting.
- Prepare Seasoning Paste: In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, salt, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly to form a flavorful paste.
- Season the Beef: Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels. Rub the garlic and rosemary paste evenly all over the surface of the roast to maximize flavor absorption.
- Arrange in Roasting Pan: Place the coated roast in a roasting pan. Pour 1 cup of beef broth around the roast to help keep it moist throughout cooking.
- Insert Thermometer: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding any bones, to monitor the internal temperature accurately.
- Roast the Beef: Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Roast for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium rare, adjusting cooking time if you prefer a different doneness.
- Rest the Roast: Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the roast thinly against the grain for tenderness. Serve with the pan juices and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure precise cooking and avoid overcooking the roast.
- Letting the beef rest before slicing helps retain juiciness and improves texture.
- For a stronger rosemary flavor, add extra fresh rosemary to the seasoning paste.
- Optional: Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
