Ridiculously Tasty Roast Beef

  • Prep Time: 30 minutes
  • Cook Time: 2 hours
  • Total Time: 2 1/2 hours
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pound rump or sirloin tip roast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, more for brushing rolls
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup water

Optional

  • Hoagie rolls
  • Sliced Provolone

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Mix together in a small bowl the olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, basil, and rosemary. Let the mixture sit 5-10 minutes.
  3. Place the roast on a baking rack over top of a roasting pan. If you do not have a roasting pan using a 9×13 cake pan works perfectly fine. Massage the roast with the garlic-herb mixture, generously covering the roast on all sides.
  4. Pour the beef broth and the water into the roasting, or cake, pan. Position the roast on the baking rack so that the fat side is facing up, insert an oven safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast (this is important to ensuring the doneness of the roast), and place in the oven. Roast for 45 minutes, or until the thermometer reads 125 degrees. During this time, do not open the oven door no matter how tempting it is.
  5. Once the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees, turn the oven down to 250 degrees and roast an additional 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees. When the internal temperature reaches 135, remove the roast from the oven and loosely tent with aluminum foil. The internal temperature will continue to rise to around 145 degrees. Let the roast rest tented for at least 10 minutes.
  6. Once the roast has rested, and is cool enough to handle, place it on a cutting board and thinly slice. Pour the juices from the roasting, or cake, pan over the meat and toss so that each slice gets a nice coating.
  7. Serve plain with sides of your choice, or in sandwiches.

Notes

  • If you decide to serve your ridiculously tasty roast beef in sandwiches, check out the following instruction…
  • While the roast it resting in its juices, preheat the oven to broil. Brush (or spray) the inside of the rolls with olive oil and place on an oven safe baking sheet open and oil side up. Broil about 1 minute or until lightly toasted. It is a good idea to have the oven light on and stay close to avoid burning your rolls – trust me, I speak from experience.
  • To assemble these ridiculously tasty roast beef sandwiches, cut one slice of provolone in half and put the halves down on the roll side-by-side or you could use two slices if you like it a little cheesier. Take a moderate handful of the sliced roast beef and spread over the cheese side of the roll. Close the sandwich, wrap in foil, and place in the oven, or a roaster, at 200 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until the sandwiches are warm to the touch and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve plain, or topped with whatever sandwich fixin’s trip your trigger – sauteed mushrooms and onions, jalapenos, horseradish… The options are endless!
