Herb-crusted roast beef is a classic, elegant dish that is both flavorful and easy to prepare. By using olive oil and a blend of seasonings, you can achieve a tender, juicy roast with a savory herb crust. This recipe is perfect for special occasions or a comforting family dinner.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Remove the beef roast from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps it cook more evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the salt and black pepper together.
- Rub the beef roast all over with olive oil, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the salt and pepper mixture over the beef, pressing it into the meat to ensure it sticks and covers the roast thoroughly.
- Place the seasoned beef roast on a rack in a roasting pan. This allows air to circulate around the meat for more even cooking.
- Insert an oven-safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast.
- Roast the beef in the preheated oven. Cook for approximately 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness:
- For rare: 120-125°F (49-52°C)
- For medium rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
- For medium: 140-145°F (60-63°C)
- Once the beef has reached the desired internal temperature, remove it from the oven.
- Let the roast rest for at least 15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a moist and flavorful roast.
- After resting, transfer the beef roast to a cutting board.
- Slice the beef roast against the grain in thin slices.
- Serve immediately, pairing with your favorite sides.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut: Opt for a cut like prime rib, sirloin, or tenderloin for best results.
- Bring the beef to room temperature before cooking: Letting the beef sit out for about 30 minutes before cooking ensures even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer: To achieve the perfect doneness, use a meat thermometer to check internal temperatures.
- Rest the meat: Let the roast rest for 15-20 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender roast.
With these simple steps and tips, you can make a delicious herb-crusted roast beef that will impress your guests and delight your family. The use of olive oil enhances the flavors of the herbs and spices, creating a mouthwatering crust and juicy, tender meat. Enjoy this classic dish with your favorite side items for a truly memorable meal.
