Ingredients
- 1/2 cup kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup granulated garlic
- 1/4 cup granulated onion
- 1/2 cup dried basil
- 1/2 cup dried oregano
- 5 to 7-pound roast beef round
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Combine all the seasoning ingredients in a medium jar.
- Trim all the fat from beef round. (I grind the trimmings), but you can cut them up into bite-size pieces and place on the bottom of a roasting pan. Sprinkle the trimmings with some of the seasoning mix. Place the roast beef on top of the trimmings and coat the beef well with more of the seasoning mix. Drizzle olive oil on top of the roast and pat the oil over the seasonings. Place into the preheated oven on lowest rack and roast approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours, uncovered, until the internal temperature registers *130 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from oven and let stand about 20 to 30 minutes before carving. This roast can be used for sandwiches, thinly cut or thickly cut and served with beef gravy, if desired.

Do you use ALL the seasoning mix? It seems like a lot!
Made this yesterday, just doubled the granulated garlic, put it on a rack over baking pan filled with beef stock with bullion added, and followed the directions listed. let is sit in fridge overnight, took out next day, cut on portable slicer…….AMAZING. thank you for this recipe it was the best.
I made this for dinner last night. it was delicious. I let the meat rest covered, so the juices would drip into the pan, added beef both, flour and salt and pepper. Made a fabulous brown beef gravy.
Delicious. I cooked it to Rare. Used the drippings to make Au Jus. (I added a little “Better than Boullion” to the drippings to make a larger amount of the AuJus). We sliced the meat very thin. When we were ready to eat we Reheated the Jus to almost boiling, added the rare meat for a couple of minutes while I toasted the sliced Hogie roll under the broiler. Placed the meat on the bottom part of the roll then used a fork to dip the top part of the roll in the Au Jus. Note. . Wonderful. this recipe is a keeper!
This was delicious. I did cut down the salt, and it was perfect. The only thing I’ll do different next time is add a little water or broth to the pan to try to get more juices to make gravy. We had a little, but the gravy was so delicious, we definitely could have used more.
Great flavor and simple. Can’t get much better than that. Some times more is not better as in some versions.
my hubby likes the 3 D show and requested I get recipes for our week away to the coast. Sounds like the perfect recipe for him !!
My family love this! Different from our usual beef roast. Taste much better. I would do this again.
I used the seasonings on a roast, put it in a slow cooker with sauted onions and crimini mushrooms and beef stock and cooked until it fell apart, served it on bollilo rolls. My 82 year old Dad said it was the best he ever had!
This was absolutely delicious! Growing up on the farm my husband ate alot of beef roasts but this was by far the best he’s ever had! My whole family loved it and it is now going to be a regular on the menu! the flavor was perfect! I actually put it on low heat all afternoon and it was so tender and the juice made perfect gravy for the cream cheese mashed potatoes as a side!!
