Easy Beef Oven Roast Recipes

THE BEST OVEN ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Remove roast from refrigerator and allow to come to room-temperature (about 30-40 minutes). Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Trim excess fat from roast and generously rub all sides with Kosher salt.
• In a heavy roasting pan or Dutch oven, over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add roast to pan and sear on all sides for about one minute per side. You want the roast to be brown all over.
• Sprinkle onion soup mix over the roast and pour beef broth over the top and around the inside of the roasting pan.
• Cover and roast in the oven for 3 hours or until beef is fall-apart tender (add 40-60 minutes per pound over 3 pounds).
• Allow roast beef to rest 10-15 minutes, still covered or wrapped in foil, before carving. While the roast rests, make gravy (optional, see notes above). Use a sharp knife to cut into slices and serve!

• Oven-Sear by placing uncovered roast in preheated 450°F (230°C) oven for 10 minutes.
• **Reduce heat to 275°F (140°C); cook uncovered to desired doneness, removing from oven when 5°F (3°C) below finished temperature. (Bone-in roast can take 30 to 45 minutes less.)
• Cover with foil and let stand for at least 15 minutes before carving into thin slices.
• **Not around to turn it down? Skip Step 2 and roast at a constant 275°F (140°C). This is especially good for less tender cuts and smaller roasts (less than 1 kg/2lb). Allow approximately 15% longer cook time.
