Recipe for the Perfect Beef Roastbeef
Beef roast beef is a classic dish that never goes out of style. With slow cooking and simple preparation, roast beef can become the star dish on your table. Here is the recipe to prepare it at its best!
Ingredients:
- 1 kg of beef (preferably sirloin or round )
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 glass of red wine (optional)
- Butter (optional, for greasing the meat)
Preparation:
-
Prepare the meat : Remove the roast beef from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking, so that it reaches room temperature. This will help ensure even cooking.
-
Seasoning : Rub the meat with salt and black pepper. Add the crushed garlic cloves and the sprig of rosemary. You can also baste it with a little butter to make it even juicier.
-
Brown the Meat : In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the meat and brown on all sides for about 4-5 minutes, until golden brown.
-
Baking : Transfer the roast beef to a baking tray and place in a preheated oven at 180°C. Cook for about 20-25 minutes per pound of meat if you want it rare (for medium or well done, add a few more minutes).
-
Resting : Once cooked, remove the roast beef from the oven and let the meat rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to distribute and makes each slice juicier.
-
Serving : Slice the roast beef thinly and serve with sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or gravy.
Final advice:
If you want to add a little extra flavor, deglaze the meat with red wine before baking for a richer, deeper flavor.
There you have it! Your perfect roast beef is ready to be enjoyed. Enjoy!
