Giant Medium Roast Beef Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 giant beef roast (such as a boneless ribeye or sirloin roast, about 15-20 pounds)
- 6 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or sage
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (165Β°C).
- Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. This will be your marinade for the roast.
- Marinate the roast: Place the giant beef roast in a large roasting pan. Use a sharp knife to make several small cuts on the surface of the roast. This will allow the marinade to penetrate the meat better. Rub the marinade all over the surface of the roast, making sure to get it into the cuts you made. If you have fresh herbs, you can also tuck them into the cuts or sprinkle them over the top of the roast.
- Roast the beef: Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Roast the beef for about 15-20 minutes per pound, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For a medium roast, you’ll want the internal temperature to reach around 145Β°F (63Β°C). Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature in the thickest part of the roast.
- Rest the roast: Once the roast reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent the roast loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Slice and serve: After the roast has rested, use a sharp carving knife to slice it thinly against the grain. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.
Enjoy your giant medium roast beef with your family and friends!
