Description
Learn the secret to a perfectly juicy top round roast recipe! This guide provides essential tips and step-by-step instructions for a tender and flavorful beef round roast that will impress your family and friends.
Ingredients
- Top round roast (3-4 pounds)
- Olive oil
- Salt and black pepper
- Garlic cloves, minced
- Fresh rosemary and thyme
- Beef broth
- Optional: Carrots, potatoes, and onions for roasting alongside the beef
Instructions
- Prepare the Roast: Pat the top round roast dry with paper towels. Mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub this mixture all over the roast.
- Sear the Roast: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Sear the roast on all sides until nicely browned (2-3 minutes per side).
- Roast in the Oven: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place the seared roast in a roasting pan, add beef broth to the bottom. Arrange vegetables around the roast, if using. Cover with foil and roast for about 20 minutes per pound for medium-rare, or until desired internal temperature is reached.
- Rest and Carve: Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. Carve against the grain into thin slices and serve.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate doneness.
- Searing the roast is essential for locking in juices and adding flavor.
- Resting the roast allows juices to redistribute for maximum juiciness.
- Carve against the grain for more tender slices.
