Description

This classic roast beef recipe is straightforward and delicious, perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and tender roast that will impress your family and friends.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds beef eye of round roast, at room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder, or more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the beef roast evenly with kosher salt, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan to ensure even heat distribution.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until the desired doneness is reached (use a meat thermometer for accuracy).
  5. Let the roast rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. This step is crucial to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy roast.

Notes

  • To achieve a perfect crust, make sure the roast is dry before seasoning.
  • Resting the meat is essential for retaining its juices. Slice against the grain for the best texture.
