Servings: 6-8
Ingredients
- Top round roast
- 3-4 pounds
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Salt
- 1 tablespoon
- Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon
- Beef broth
- 1 cup (for basting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful herb paste.
- Rub the herb mixture all over the top round roast, ensuring an even coating for maximum flavor.
- Place the roast in a roasting pan, fat side up, and pour the beef broth into the bottom of the pan for moisture.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Baste the roast with the pan juices every 30 minutes to keep it moist.
- Once done, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier result.
- Slice and serve with your favorite sides, drizzling some of the pan juices over the slices for added flavor.
