Simple Oven Roast Beef

3 pounds boneless beef bottom round(trimmed of excess fat)

salt(to taste)

black pepper(to taste)

1 tsp garlic powder(optional)

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Season the beef liberally on all sides with the salt and pepper. Allow beef to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before roasting.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and position a roasting rack inside.

Set beef in center of roasting rack. Rub the exposed surface with olive oil. Sprinkle the top with garlic powder, if desired.

Roast the beef on middle rack of oven for 20 minutes.

Reduce the oven temperature to 250°F. Continue roasting until meat reaches an internal temperature of 135-140°F for medium doneness, 90-120 minutes.

Check to see that beef is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed. Allow beef to rest for 10 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 145°F.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Dry for Better Browning 🏜️
Remove moisture from the beef surface with paper towels before seasoning to achieve a deeper, caramelized crust that locks in juices.
Room Temperature Rest Before Cooking 🌡️
Let the roast sit at room temperature for 45 minutes before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and prevent a cold center.
Reverse Sear Technique for Precision 🔥
Start in a low oven (275°F) until the internal temperature reaches 120°F, then finish with a 2-minute high-heat sear for crust without overcooking.
Rest and Carryover Cooking ⏰
Remove the roast 5°F below your target temperature since it will continue cooking during a 10-minute rest, ensuring perfectly pink, juicy results.
Garlic Powder Blooming Hack 🧄
Mix garlic powder with olive oil 15 minutes before cooking to activate and deepen its flavor, creating a more aromatic and savory crust.
