Ingredients:
- 4 sweet onions
- 1 large carrot
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare Vegetables: Start by thinly slicing the sweet onions and chopping the carrot into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a zip-lock bag.
-
Coat with Oil: Drizzle enough oil into the bag to lightly coat the vegetables. Seal the bag and shake gently to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated.
-
Transfer to Roasting Pan: Open the bag and carefully remove the vegetables, ensuring not to take the entire bag with them (as amusingly noted by a reviewer). Place the coated vegetables in a roasting pan, spreading them out evenly.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to a scorching 500 degrees Fahrenheit (yes, you read that right, 500 degrees!).
-
Prepare Roast: Now, it’s time to prepare the star of the show – the roast beef. Place the roast on top of the bed of vegetables in the roasting pan.
-
Season: Generously sprinkle the roast with garlic pepper, ensuring it’s coated evenly. Additionally, season the vegetables with garlic pepper and a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
-
Roast: Slide the roasting pan into the preheated oven and let it work its magic. Roast at 500 degrees Fahrenheit for precisely 7 minutes per pound of meat. Yes, you heard that correctly – seven minutes per pound. Trust the process.
-
Achieve Medium-Rare Perfection: After the calculated roasting time, remove the pan from the oven. Your roast beef should be perfectly cooked to a juicy, medium-rare perfection, with a mouthwatering aroma filling your kitchen.
-
Resting Time: But wait, don’t carve into the roast just yet! Allow it to rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This crucial step allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every slice is tender and flavorful.
-
Finishing Touch: As a final touch, sprinkle a bit of salt over the roast before serving. This not only enhances the flavor but also adds a subtle seasoning to each succulent bite.
Notes:
- Remember, if your roast size isn’t an even number (such as 4 1/2 lbs), stick to the recommended roasting time for the smaller weight, especially if you prefer your beef medium-rare. Adding extra time for the additional half pound isn’t suggested, as it may overcook the meat.
- Some believe that adding salt to uncooked meat can draw out its juices. Therefore, if desired, sprinkle a bit of salt over the roast once it’s done for an extra burst of flavor.
With this foolproof recipe, you’ll achieve roast beef perfection every time, leaving your guests impressed and your taste buds satisfied. Enjoy this hearty dish as the centerpiece of your next gathering or elevate your weeknight dinners with its savory goodness. 🍖🥕
