Rosemary Garlic Beef Roast

Ingredients:

– 1 beef roast (approximately 3-4 pounds)

– 4 garlic cloves, minced

– 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped

– 2 tablespoons olive oil

– 1 teaspoon salt

– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the red wine reduction:

– 1 cup red wine

– 1/2 cup beef broth

– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
3. Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels. Rub the marinade all over the roast, coating it evenly.
4. Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a little oil and sear the meat on all sides until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the meat for about 25-30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast reaches your desired doneness (135°F / 57°C for medium-rare, 145°F / 63°C for medium).
6. Remove the roast from the oven and loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a tender and juicy roast.
7. While the roast is resting, prepare the red wine reduction sauce. Combine the red wine and beef broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce by half, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Slice the beef roast into thick slices and serve with the red wine sauce drizzled on top.

Pair the beef roast with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, sautéed vegetables, or sweet potato mash. This elegant and delicious dish is perfect for special occasions or when you want to treat yourself to a gourmet meal.
