Making this garlic lovers roast beef

Roast beef is a common menu choice in my home. My husband loves it and it’s really quite an easy dish to make.

To make this garlic lover’s roast beef, you need a large roast, plenty of garlic and a great blend of fresh herbs. I used basil, sage, rosemary and thyme for the crust coating.

The roast is prepared by cutting slits in the meat for the garlic slivers and then coating the whole of the outside with the spices for a nice flavor.

The meat is then cooked to your desired inside temperature.

I served this with roasted root vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes for a delightful and hearty home cooked roast dinner.

When I tested the beef with my meat thermometer, it read at 135.9º F and the meat really was just medium rare.

Cook Time 1 hour

Additional Time 20 minutes

Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

3 pound eye round beef, with all fat trimmed off
Kosher salt
3-4 cloves garlic, cut into thin slivers
olive oil spray
fresh cracked pepper, to taste
2 teaspoon dried chopped rosemary
2 teaspoon fresh basil
1 teaspoon dried sage
3 teaspoon fresh rosemary
2 teaspoon fresh thyme

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350º. Mix together the spices and seasonings.
Lightly spray the meat with olive oil and season generously by spreading the salt, pepper and spices over the outside of the roast. I used fresh rosemary, basil, and thyme but dried sage, since it is winter and my sage is not yet growing.
Trim all the fat off the meat. Using a sharp knife, pierce the meat with 1/2 inch deep slits and insert slivers of garlic in each hole, pushing all the way in.
Place the roast in a baking dish and put in the oven and cook until the temperature reads 130° for rare, 140° for medium rare, 150° for medium, and 155-160° for well done.
Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest 10-20 minutes before you cut it so that the juices will be distributed evenly.
Serve with garlic mashed potatoes, and veggies for a hearty roast dinner.
