Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Beef roast (ribeye or top round)
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 cup Red wine
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tbsp Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Remove the beef roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Mince 3 garlic cloves and combine with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder to form a rub.
Pat the roast dry with paper towels and rub the garlic mixture all over the meat, ensuring even coverage.
Place the beef roast on a roasting rack set inside a roasting pan. Scatter the rosemary, thyme, and the remaining 3 whole garlic cloves around the roast.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to sear the outside.
Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) and pour the red wine and beef broth into the bottom of the roasting pan.
Tent the roast loosely with foil and continue roasting for 90 minutes, basting the meat with pan juices every 20-30 minutes.
Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer: 125°F (52°C) for rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium. Adjust cooking time as needed.
Remove the roast from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, and cover tightly with foil. Let rest for 15-20 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
While the meat rests, strain the pan juices into a small saucepan. Over medium heat, whisk in the butter to create a rich and flavorful sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Slice the roast against the grain into thin slices and drizzle with the sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
