Garlic Herb Beef Top Round Roast - This is the best method of turning an inexpensive piece of meat into a tender, juicy, medium rare delight!

Garlic Herb Beef Top Round Roast Recipe

2.5-3 lb boneless top round roast

kosher salt, divided

olive oil, divided

black pepper

oregano

red pepper flakes (more

garlic (finely minced)

brine

The night before you plan to cook the roast, rub 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt evenly over the meat. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Or at least do this step 6 hours ahead of cooking.

remove

At least one hour before roasting, remove the roast from the refrigerator to take the chill off.

preheat

Pat the roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture from the meat.

Rub the roast all over with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

In a small bowl mix the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and garlic.

Evenly rub the garlic herb mixture on all sides the roast

heat

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it just begins to simmer. Add the roast and sear on all sides until browned (including the sides and the ends), about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

transfer

Transfer the roast to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil (easy clean up).

roast

Roast the meat for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the meat reaches 115 degrees F on a meat thermometer. Turn the oven off, leaving the roast in the oven for another 30-40 minutes, or until the roast reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees F for medium-rare (I remove it at about 123 degrees F it will continue to cook while resting) or 140 degrees F for medium. Do not cook the roast past medium it will be too dry!

rest

Remove the roast from the oven to a carving board and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes. Slice the meat as thinly as possible and serve.

You no longer have to travel to Baltimore to experience authentic pit beef thanks to this recipe.

Baltimore Pit Beef Recipe

horseradish

mayonnaise

(6 pound) top beef roast

Morton Coarse Kosher Salt

Mrs. O'Leary's Cow Crust recipe

onions

kaiser rolls

Prep. Mix the mayo and horseradish and let it sit for at least 30 minutes during the cook.

Trim excess fat and any silver skin from the roast. The fat does not penetrate the meat. Meat is 75% water and fat and water don&#39;t mix. And the fat blocks the rub and smoke from the meat. If your roast is funny shaped, tie it with butcher string to make it closer to uniform in thickness so it cooks uniformly. Now take a look at the meat and figure out which way the grain is running because when it is done, you will want to slice it across the grain to reduce the chewiness. It is easier to find the grain when the meat is raw.

Dry brine the meat a day in advance if possible, 1/2 teaspoon of Morton Coarse Kosher Salt per pound of meat.

Crust. Anytime before cooking, in a baking pan, wet the entire surface and coat it with the Cow Crust.

Fire up. Set up your grill for 2-zone indirect heat and get the indirect side to about 225°F (107°C) with the lid down. On a smoker, set it up to cook at 225°F (107°C). I know this is a lot cooler than most restaurants cook at, but stick with me. This will make meat more tender than most restaurants. If you wish, throw some wood into your grill for smoke flavor. I recommend it.

Cook. Place the meat in indirect heat, close the lid and check the color on the bottom after about 30 to 60 minutes. If it is different than the color on top, roll it over. The cooking time will depend on the temp and the thickness of the meat. Shoot for about 115°F (46°C) in the deepest part.

Then move it over direct infrared heat to crisp up the crust, and roll it around every 5 minutes or so when the exterior gets deep mahogany. Don&#39;t burn it. Watch the temp in the center and remove the roast when it hits 125 to 130°F (52 to 54°C) for medium rare. This reverse sear method will give you much more even color inside the meat, and a crisper crust that if you sear first.

Slice. Slice the meat thin across the grain for max tenderness. If you slice and the grain is running parallel to the slice, rotate the hunk and slice it across the grain. This is crucial! It may be hard to slice warm meat with a machine if you have one, so I slice mine by hand. Just shave it off. Don&#39;t try to make large complete slices. The thinner the better. After you slice it, you can throw a few slices back on the grill or in a pan for those who like it chewier and more well done.

Serve. Mound it high on the roll, drizzle on some horsey sauce, and scatter a few thinly sliced onion rings on.

Pot Roast

beef top round roast

salt

pepper

celery (diced)

carrots

onion

tomato paste

Worcestershire sauce

thyme (leaves removed)

rosemary (leaves removed)

red wine

beef stock stock

corn starch

red potatoes (halved)

Preheat oven to 325F. Season meat with salt and pepper. In a large pot, set over medium heat, add the olive oil. When hot, add the meat and sear on both sides for 4 to 5 minutes until browned.

Remove the meat from the pot, turn the heat down to medium-low and add in the celery, yellow onion, and carrots. Cook until slightly softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add in the smashed garlic, tomato paste, fresh herbs, worchestire and mix until combined.

Pour in the red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot, being sure to lift up any bits. This will flavor the pot roast even more! Pour in the beef stock and give it a mix. Add the meat back to the pot and put the lid on top. Transfer to the oven and cook for 3 to 3 1/2 hours, until very tender.

Remove the meat from the pot. Strain the broth through a strainer into a bowl and discard the solids. To thicken the sauce, add a few tablespoons of the strained liquid to a bowl. Whisk in two teaspoons of corn starch until smooth. Pour the  stock slurry and the rest of the stock to the pot.

Add the meat back to the pot, along with the red potatoes and carrots. Cover with a lid and simmer on the stove for 20 to 30 minutes on medium-low, until the potatoes and carrots are tender.

This pot roast was easy and delicious. I used a little over 3lbs of whole chuck roast, cooked it for the allotted time and it came out perfect. My bf said it's the best thing I've cooked so far and we need to have a dinner party asap to serve it! I ended up using an immersion blender to blend up some of the cooked veggie bits to make the sauce thicker and it worked like a charm. Paired it with some fluffy mashed potatoes and crunchy baguette, and had plenty of leftovers for the weekend.

This has become a birthday meal for both my 10 year old daughter and my fiancé! It is easy to make and beyond delicious.

EXCELLENT! This was my second time making a roast so I’m not very experienced, but this was so simple to follow. Made it for Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit with my family, everyone asked for the recipe! I will be making again!! Was out of Worcestershire so swapped that for balsamic vinegar, but that’s more of a pantry staple for me anyways so I’ll probably proceed with that. Per usual Adrianna never fails!

Very good recipe and perfect for the autumn weather! My family loved it 

I used an immersion blender on half of the vegetables and added back to thicken the sauce.

This pot roast recipe is truly perfect. It's so simple to follow and the results were amazing. My family ate it all up!

I found this recipe on Instagram, I had to make it! This dishhh will not disappoint, it’s so delicious
