Equipment

  • roasting pan
  • aluminum foil
  • Skillet
  • leave-in thermometer
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lb eye of round roast
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 0.5 tablespoon minced rosemary leaves
  • 1.5 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

Prepare the roast

  • Take the meat out of the refrigerator about an hour before cooking it and take it out of the packaging. (You can let it rest on a sheet of aluminum foil, on a baking sheet.)
  • Combine salt, pepper, and minced rosemary in a small bowl.
  • Make small incisions with a knife, just big enough to fit slivers of garlic into it. Slice garlic cloves into 2 or 3 slices and fit a slice of garlic into each cut.
  • Generously season the meat with salt/pepper/rosemary all around. Make sure to cover all the sides.

Cooking the roast

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a roasting pan with aluminum foil to catch the drippings.
  • Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Sear the meat until golden brown on all sides.
  • Transfer the roast onto the rack in the roasting pan and insert a leave-in thermometer into the center.
  • Cook until internal temperature reaches 130°F-135°F for medium-rare.
  • Take the meat out of the oven and onto a rimmed cutting board. Tent with a sheet of aluminum foil and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.

Cutting the roast

  • After the meat had time to rest, use a sharp knife to slice roast beef thinly, against the grain.

Notes

Reheating: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice meat and place it in a single layer in a middle of a sheet of aluminum foil. Wrap it loosely and place right on the rack in the oven, not on a baking sheet. Heat for 5-10 minutes until just hot.
