roast beef recipe

Roast beef﻿﻿ might sound fancy and complicated to make, but it's actually quite simple! With a good piece of meat and some simple herbs, you can have roast beef that's way more tender and flavorful than the store-bought kind. Below, we break down what's most important to know when preparing this classic dish.

Perfect Roast Beef

(4-lb.) round roast

c. extra-virgin olive oil

garlic,

rosemary

thyme leaves

kosher salt

tsp. black pepper

I was a little nervous about this roast because I don't do it very often. However this recipe is perfect!
I bought a 3.5 lb bottom round roast. I didn't have any fresh herbs except rosemary, so chopped that with garlic, pepper, and olive oil,  and rubbed the roast with it on all sides. I let it come up to room temperature while I did other things.
I put it in the 450 f. with convection on, oven for 15 minutes,  reduced the temperature to 325 f (without convection) and roasted for about 1 hour 10 minutes, taking it out of the oven when internal temperature reached 127 f.
The roast rested, covered with foil,  while I got the rest of the meal together.
When I sliced it, I was Amazed! The roast was a beautiful shade of pink all the way through,  from end to end, not medium well or well done anywhere! I thought sure the center would be almost raw (if the end was pink), but no, it was perfectly pink all the way through! How does that even happen! The meat was on the lean side, and still perfectly tender.
I just had to write and tell you how great this recipe is. I've lost my fear of roasting meat, and will always follow this recipe!!

2nd time making this roast , new house wife now , and feel like I’m nailing it , learning new recipes and learning to cook. Absolutely Delicious !

Absolutely the BEST and EASIEST Recipe!!!  I tried making Roast Beef numerous times with not luck!  I either over cooked it or it was way too rare!!  So this time I went online and found this recipe.  I thought it can’t be this easy!!  But it absolutely was and it was so delicious!!!  My finicky Teenagers were even impressed!!  Thank you so much for this Recipe!!

I made this last night for valentines dinner... with mashed sweet potatoes and roasted almond green beans.. it was one of the best meals I have even made.. ever! I highly recommend this roast recipe! I used a 2.5 lb round roast and cut the 325 cook temp time down to an hour and a half.. it came out PERFECT!

Tried today. Yummy! The gravy made from the drippings was fantastic!

Made this today and it was delicious. My husband and sister like their beef well done and I like a little pink. The seasoning was PERFECT. This will become a regular dish at our home.

I cooked my roast beef last night and it was the best piece of beef I have had in years at home or at a restaurant!  Loved the spices!  Highly recommend trying it. I did have a very good and pricy piece but it was worth it.

Delicious,  I found thus recipe and made this Roast Beef for Dinner. My family  LOVED Thank you.

I had a small striploin roast about 3 lb, followed this recipe. Did not have fresh herbs, I did had dry rosemary to my rub.  Cooking instructions, made my roast absolutely delicious !!!!. For gravy I a made a roux with butter and flour, then added the drippings.  It was YUMMY.  Thanks for the perfect Roast recipe.  No more being afraid of cooking a roast beef. I will use it over and over.

I made this yesterday with a 2 lb sirloin roast and it cooked wayyyy too quickly for my tastes! I think my oven runs a little hot; and with such a small roast is a challenge. I did it on 450 for 15 mins then 325 for 35 mins and internal temp was already up to 180F! I like medium rare so that was not ideal. However the recipe and rub are amazing! Just make sure to consider your own oven and the shape of your roast (mine was quite wide and thinner) ... I knew it would be quick but no idea that quick!

Please note that roasts that are less than 3 inches thick will take less time to roast. I highly recommend investing in an instant read thermometer so you know the exact moment to pull it out of the oven.

This simple and juicy Roast Beef recipe with homemade pan gravy is just as impressive as any holiday roast. Roasting beef in the oven is easy, and every bite melts in your mouth.

Roast Beef Recipe with Gravy

3-4 lb top round roast beef* (at room temperature 1.5 to 2 hours before cooking)

Tbsp minced garlic (from 3 cloves)

tsp thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)

tsp fine sea salt

tsp black pepper

water

Tbsp corn starch

dry red wine

beef broth

tsp black pepper (or to taste)

unsalted butter

Preheat oven to 450ºF. You’ll need a roasting pan with an oven rack to allow the air to circulate and to catch the drippings for gravy.

In a small bowl, mix together oil, rosemary, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Set aside for the flavors to meld for 5 minutes.

Pat the roast dry with paper towels and tie it with a kitchen string in 1-inch increments to create a more even thickness on the roast. Rub the roast all over with the seasoned oil. Put an oven-safe thermometer into the deepest part of the roast and set the roast on a rack inside the roasting pan.

Bake on the center oven rack at 450ºF for 15 minutes then (without opening the oven), reduce heat to 250ºF and bake for about 28-30 minutes per pound, or until the thickest part of the roast reaches 135-140ºF for Medium-Rare**. Note the temperature will continue to rise 5 degrees as it rests.

Remove from the oven, tent with foil, and rest 15 minutes while you make the gravy. When ready to serve, cut against the grain, shaving the meat into thin slices.

How to Make Roast Beef:

In a small bowl, stir together corn starch and cold water to make a slurry and set aside.

Set the roasting pan with any drippings over medium heat and add the red wine, scraping the bottom to deglaze the pan. Once wine is reduced by at least half, add beef broth and bring to a light boil. Add onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Add the cornstarch slurry mixture to the gravy while stirring constantly (this prevents a lumpy gravy). Bring to a simmer and continue to simmer for 3 minutes until gravy is thickened. Turn off the heat and stir in butter until incorporated. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Strain gravy through a sieve if desired.
