Perfect Roast Beef with a Garlic Crust image

This is a combination of two great recipes! I found these recipes on a cooking site. One recipe was for the crust (by Magpieno6) and one was for the cooking method (by Wynnebaer) of the roast beef! Both worked perfectly together! I added my photo!

Categories     Roasts

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 lb roast beef-no larger or cook time will be off
salt & pepper to season the roast
NOTE: ANY CUT OF ROAST BEEF WORKS FINE WITH THIS RECIPE.
GARLIC CRUST INGREDIENTS
1 c fresh white breadcrumbs-white slice bread works fine
6 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
4 large cloves of garlic-crushed
3 Tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Season the roast beef with salt and pepper.
  • 2. Now make the garlic crust by heating the oil in a frying pan.
  • 3. Add Garlic and saute for 2 minutes, stirring. Then mix in breadcrumbs, parsley, salt and black pepper
  • 4. Allow mixture to cool, then press this mixture onto the seasoned roast beef. This should be enough to cover just the top and sides of the roast.
  • 5. Preheat oven to 500*
  • 6. Bake UNCOVERED for exactly 23 minutes. This cooking time will give you a medium/well roast, as in the picture. If you want it more or less cooked adjust the cooking time. For medium/rare 15 minutes.
  • 7. Shut oven off and DO NOT open door for 1 hour (important)
  • 8. Take roast out and let it rest for 15 minutes, covered.
  • 9. Then just slice and serve.
