Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef roast (rump or sirloin tip)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups beef broth
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels and rub it with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet or roasting pan to the preheated oven. Roast the beef for about 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Adjust timing based on your preferred doneness.
While the beef is roasting, prepare the glazed onions. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, then add the sliced onions. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onions and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the sugar to melt and glaze the onions. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the beef is done, remove it from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Worcestershire gravy. Place the roasting pan with drippings on the stovetop over medium heat. If there are no drippings, use a clean skillet.
Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the flour and water until smooth, then whisk this mixture into the simmering liquid. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.
Slice the roast beef against the grain and serve with the glazed onions on top. Drizzle the Worcestershire gravy over the beef and onions, or serve it on the side.
