Roast Beef
I made this easy roast beef recipe from Simply Recipes, and it turned out delicious. They had an interesting way to cook the meat, so it turned your oven into a convection oven, which means you don’t have to turn the meat while cooking. I was skeptical at first, but delighted with the result! I seasoned the beef, and as my Mom does, I poked holes all over the roast and filled them with garlic slivers. This recipe for roast beef was simple to make, perfectly medium-rare, tender, and so delicious paired with fresh green beans, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and dinner rolls. We all loved this meal, especially my kids. I used the leftover roast beef to make French dip sandwiches with homemade au jus. Yum!
Roast Beef
Ingredients:
- 3½ lb. round roast
- 4 cloves of garlic, cut into thin slivers
- Snider’s seasoning, to taste, (or your favorite steak seasoning)
- Black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Sea salt, to taste
- Olive oil cooking spray
How to Make a Roast Beef
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
With a sharp knife, cut slits all over the roast and place a sliver of garlic in each hole.
Season the entire roast with steak seasoning, pepper, garlic powder, and more salt if you desire, then spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Place the roast (fat side up) on a roasting rack, directly on the oven rack. Put a rimmed baking sheet beneath the roast to catch all the juices so it’s easy to clean up, and there isn’t much of a mess. It works great!!
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 250 degrees.
I cooked it until the meat thermometer read 145, then removed the roast.
Allow the roast to rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Enjoy.

Pam, that looks absolutely perfect, good job. My grandmother doesn’t like the taste of beef so we don’t prepare it here very often, but I do miss it. (especially now that you say it was tender and looks the part too… That’s long been my fear of cooking meat.) I think I’ll just roast a pork loin on the side for her 😉
This looks beautifully cooked – really succulent, well done!
It’s just beautiful! Once you’ve don’t it, don’t you find it is just so simple? It is one of my favorites!

So the thermometer beeps when it’s done? So cool 🙂 I’d have to get one of those, because your beef looks perfectly done 🙂
I don’t think I have ever made a roast beef before. Maybe when I get some more of that grass-fed beef I’ll have to give it a whirl!
