Roast Beef

Roast Beef Recipe


A Sunday roast has to be one of the easiest meals to prepare. Use either prime rib or top sirloin premium oven roast for this roast beef recipe. I like to serve garlic mashed potatoe and Salad,a nice bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon) is perfect for this type of meal.

Ingredients

5 lb (2.5 kg) Beef Prime Rib or Top Sirloin Premium Oven Roast

4 cloves garlic

1/4 cup grainy Dijon mustard

3 tbsp chopped fresh thyme

2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary

2 tbsp Olive oil

sea salt

freshly ground pepper



Directions

Thinly slice the garlic cloves. With the tip of a knife, cut slits all over the roast beef and insert the garlic slices. Combine the thyme, rosemary, oil, pepper, and a pinch of sea salt in a mortar and pestle. Pound away until the mixtures starts to get pulpy. Throw this into a small bowl and mix with the mustard. If you like a lot of garlic then you can combine some chopped garlic to the mixture as well. Rub the mixture all over the roast.



Place the roast beef, fat side down on a rack in the roasting pan. . Preheat your oven to 325°F and cook the roast for about 2 hours 

Transfer the roast to a cutting board. Tent with foil (shiny side down) and let stand for 10–15 minutes before cutting. Reserve juices for a pan gravy recipe.
