Garlic Roast Beef

Equipment

  • Digital meat thermometer
  • Roasting pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 lb Beef Roast eye of round, top sirloin or bottom round
  • 4 cloves garlic cut into thin slices
  • 1 tsp rosemary dried
  • olive oil
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • fresh crashed pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Remove the roast from refrigerator 1 hour before cooking to reach room temperature. Using a sharp knife, pierce meat about 1/2-inch deep and insert slivers of garlic in each hole, pushing all the way in.

  • Lightly cover beef with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper and rosemary.
  • Place an oven safe meat thermometer all the way into the center of the meat. Place the roast in a roasting pan with a rack (you can cook without a rack if you don't have one).

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. When the oven reaches 350° F, put roast in the oven.
  • Roast until the thermometer reads 130° for rare, 135° for medium rare, 140° for medium, and 155° for well done. Due to carryover cooking, when the center of a roast comes within 10 degrees of the target, it’s time to take it off the heat. The temperature will rise an additional 5-7° degrees as it rests after being removed from the oven.
  • Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest 15-20 minutes before you cut it so that the juices distributed evenly.
