Ingredients
Scale
- 3-4 lbs top round roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- 1/2 cup red wine or beef broth
- Vegetables like carrots and potatoes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F. This high initial heat is essential for creating a crisp, caramelized crust.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Rub this mixture all over the roast, ensuring even coverage to maximize flavor.
- Place the roast on a rack inside a large roasting pan. Pop it in the oven for 15-20 minutes to sear and lock in the juices.
- After searing, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and continue roasting for approximately 20 minutes per pound for medium-rare doneness.
- Once done, transfer the roast to a cutting board, cover with foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, use the pan drippings with wine or broth to create a flavorful gravy.
