Description
A tender and flavorful bottom round roast beef recipe seasoned with a garlic herb rub and slow roasted to perfection, perfect for a hearty family dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
Beef:
- 4 pounds bottom round beef
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Garlic Herb Beef Rub:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, or 2 teaspoons fresh
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme, or 1 teaspoon fresh
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: Remove the beef from your refrigerator about 1 hour before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature, which ensures even roasting.
- Preheat the oven and mix rub: Preheat your oven to 425℉. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, dried rosemary, kosher salt, dried thyme, and freshly ground black pepper to create the garlic herb rub.
- Coat the meat: Lightly coat the bottom round beef with olive oil, then thoroughly rub the garlic herb seasoning all over the meat to enhance flavor and create a savory crust.
- Roast at high heat: Place the seasoned meat on a rack in a roasting pan and put it in the preheated oven. Roast for 15 minutes at 425℉ to sear the outside and lock in juices.
- Continue roasting at lower temperature: After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325℉ and continue roasting for about 1½ hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 130℉ for medium-rare or 140℉ for medium doneness.
- Rest the roast: Transfer the meat to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil. Allow it to rest for 20-30 minutes; this step lets the juices redistribute for optimal tenderness.
- Slice and serve: Slice the roast thinly across the grain to produce a more tender and enjoyable texture before serving.
Notes
- Slicing the meat thin and across the grain helps produce a more tender result.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- To reheat, place the leftovers in a baking dish, cover with foil, and heat in a 300℉ oven for 10 minutes or until warmed through.
