Garlic-rubbed eye of round roast with red wine pan sauce for a rich and hearty meal.
Ingredients:
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 (3 pound) beef eye of round roast
  • aluminum foil
  • 0.5 cup dry red wine (merlot or cabernet sauvignon)
  • 0.5 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
Instructions:
  • Prepare a flavorful paste by combining minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme; massage the mixture onto the beef roast. Allow the roast to rest at room temperature for an hour. After 40 minutes, preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).
  • Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with two generously sized sheets of aluminum foil. Carefully transfer the beef roast onto the prepared foil sheets.
  • Roast in the oven until golden brown, about 18 minutes.
  • Take the roast out of the oven, wrap it with the foil, adjust the oven temperature to 170 degrees F (75 degrees C), and continue roasting for one more hour.
  • After one hour, use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature: 120-125 degrees F for rare, 130-140 degrees F for medium-rare, and 140-150 degrees F for medium.
  • Transfer the roast to a cutting board and allow it to rest.
  • Pour the roast drippings into a saucepan. Mix in red wine and beef broth, and simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by 1/4. Reduce to medium-low heat, then gradually whisk in butter cubes one at a time until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper, then set the sauce aside.
  • Slice the roast into elegant 1/2-inch thick pieces and drizzle with flavorful pan sauce before serving.
