Juicy, tender roast beef coated in garlic and rosemary, then slow-roasted to perfection. A cast iron skillet classic that’s full of flavor and perfect for special dinners.


Ingredients


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC).

Tie the roast with kitchen twine if needed and season generously with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, combine chopped rosemary, garlic, and olive oil to form a paste.

Heat vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear all sides of the roast (about 5–8 minutes total).

Remove skillet from heat. Brush the rosemary-garlic paste evenly over the roast.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until internal temp reaches 135ºF for medium-rare.

Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes (temperature should rise to 145ºF).

While resting, sauté mushrooms in 2 tbsp butter over medium heat until browned and liquid evaporates (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.

Remove roast from skillet. Add stock to pan and deglaze, scraping browned bits. Simmer until slightly thickened.

Stir in mushrooms and remaining 2 tbsp butter until sauce is silky. Return roast to skillet and spoon sauce over the top.

Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired. Serve sliced with mushroom sauce.

Notes

A meat thermometer is highly recommended for perfect doneness.

Can substitute herbs to match your preferred flavor profile (thyme, oregano, etc.).

Excellent served with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or Yorkshire pudding.
