Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef cuvette roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 4 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 3 units carrots, cut into chunks
- 2 units celery stalks, chopped
- 1 unit onion, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Pat the beef cuvette dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, lemon zest, black pepper, and salt.
Rub this herbal mixture evenly over the beef cuvette, ensuring it covers all sides.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil.
Sear the beef cuvette on all sides until it develops a golden-brown crust, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they start to soften.
Pour the low-sodium beef broth over the vegetables and stir to combine.
Place the beef cuvette back in the skillet on top of the vegetables.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature of the beef reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the roast rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the beef thinly against the grain and serve with roasted vegetables. Enjoy your heart-healthy meal!
