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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful herb paste.
  3. Rub the herb mixture all over the top round roast, ensuring an even coating for maximum flavor.
  4. Place the roast in a roasting pan, fat side up, and pour the beef broth into the bottom of the pan for moisture.
  5. 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.
  6. Baste the roast with the pan juices every 30 minutes to keep it moist.
  7. 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.
  8. Slice and serve with your favorite sides, drizzling some of the pan juices over the slices for added flavor.
