Description
Here’s a recipe for a perfect roast beef for 6 people along with nutritional data
Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs) beef roast (such as sirloin or rump)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and onion powder to create a paste.
- Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels. Rub the paste all over the surface of the roast, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Roasting:
- Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up.
- Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, making sure it’s not touching bone.
- Roast the beef in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes per pound (450g) for medium-rare doneness, or until the internal temperature reaches 55-60°C (130-140°F) for medium-rare.
- Once the desired doneness is reached, remove the roast from the oven and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for about 15-20 minutes before slicing.
- Serving:
- Slice the roast thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Serve the roast beef with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.
