Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 to 4-pound Bottom Round Roast, fresh and well-marbled
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 4 to 5 Garlic Cloves, fresh
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 cup Beef Broth or Water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roast: Pat the bottom round roast dry with paper towels to ensure a good crust. Rub the entire surface with olive oil, then generously season with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, and fresh herbs. Let the roast sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to cook evenly.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) for slow, even roasting that keeps the beef tender.
  3. Sear the Meat: Heat a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat with a little olive oil. Sear the roast on all sides until a rich brown crust forms, locking in juices while developing deep flavor.
  4. Roast the Beef: Transfer the roast to a roasting pan if not already in one. Pour beef broth or water into the pan to keep the environment moist. Insert a meat thermometer and roast in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium, approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on size.
  5. Rest Before Slicing: Remove the roast from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice is juicy and tender.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to avoid guesswork and prevent overcooking.
  • Bring the meat to room temperature before cooking for even doneness.
  • Don’t skip searing; it adds flavor and seals in juices.
  • Maintain moderate oven temperature (325°F) for tender results.
  • Letting the roast rest before slicing keeps it moist and tender.
  • Trim excess fat but leave a thin layer to protect meat during roasting.
