Roast beef is one of the easiest and delicious recipes you can make. It’s perfect for a large group or a small family dinner.
One of my favorite meals to make (and my husband’s favorite to eat) is roast beef. This recipe is so easy, has only five simple ingredients and takes no time at all to prepare.
Remember my engagement brisket? Well, after I made that awesome brisket for my boyfriend at the time (now husband), I made a roast beef. I was still in college, on a tight budget, and had zero patience for difficult recipes (i.e. easy mac was my go-to). So, I headed to my grocery store in town, grabbed myself a hunk of meat and a head of garlic… and the rest is delicious, culinary history!

Delicious and Easy Roast Beef
Print RecipeIngredients
- 3-4 lb. Eye Roast (with flap of fat over top)*
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 5 gloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Black pepper
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
Rub the olive oil over entire roast. Mince 3 garlic cloves and rub them over the entire roast as well.
Sliver the remaining garlic. Poke holes into the flap of fat with a sharp paring knife and place the slivers of garlic into the holes.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the entire roast (don't forget the ends!)
Place the roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan fat side up.
Cook roast about an hour (20 minutes per pound). For medium rare, internal temperature of roast should be 135 degrees.**
When done, remove roast from over, tent with foil, and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
Pour boiling water into the roasting pan and scrape the bits off the bottom to create a gravy.
Slice the roast thinly and serve with mashed potatoes, carrots or other veggies.
Notes
*Other cuts of meat you can use include Top Round, Top Sirloin, Bottom Round
**I recommend using a meat thermometer when roasting because it takes the guesswork out of knowing when the roast is done.
Since Easter and Passover are coming up soon, I will definitely be making this delicious roast for the family – including the in-laws!
