The Ultimate Boston Roast Beef Recipe And Guide
Ingredients
- 1 3 to 4 pounds beef roast (such as sirloin or chuck)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 onion sliced
- 2 carrots sliced
- 2 stalks celery sliced
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat The Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Prepare The Beef
- Combine the minced garlic, dried thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Rub the olive oil all over the beef roast, then generously coat it with the herb and spice mixture.
Step 3: Sear The Beef
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef roast and sear it on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the seared beef roast to a roasting pan.
Step 4: Add The Vegetables And Broth
- Add sliced onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet used to sear the beef. Cook until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour the beef broth into the skillet and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the vegetable and broth mixture over the beef roast in the roasting pan.
Step 5: Roast The Beef
- Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Roast for 1½ to 2 hours or until the beef is tender and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
