Description
A classic beef bottom round roast that’s oven-roasted to tender perfection with a flavorful herb crust—ideal for Sunday dinners, meal prep, or slicing into sandwiches.
Ingredients
3–4 lb beef bottom round roast
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried
1 tbsp fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1 cup beef broth
Optional: 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
3. Pat roast dry with paper towels and rub the herb mixture all over the meat.
4. Place roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the bottom of the pan.
5. Roast at 450°F for 15 minutes to sear, then reduce heat to 325°F (165°C).
6. Continue roasting for 60–75 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 130–135°F for medium-rare.
7. Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 15–20 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
8. Serve with pan juices or your favorite sauce.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer for accuracy—bottom round is best served medium-rare to medium.
Letting the roast rest is key to juicy slices.
Great for leftovers in sandwiches, wraps, or stir-fries.
