Ingredients
- 2-3 pounds roast or eye round cut, fat trimmed
- 3-4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- olive oil, for brushing
- kosher salt, to taste
- fresh cracked pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, chopped
Directions
Step 1 –Allow the roast to sit, covered, until it reaches room temperature, about 1 hour.
Step 2 –Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 3 –Using a sharp knife, pierce the roast several times, making each piercing about 1/2-inch deep and set about 1-inch apart.
Step 4 –Add a sliver of the garlic into each piercing, pushing it in completely. Doing so will infuse the meat more fully with the garlic flavor.
Step 5 –Brush the roast with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and rosemary.
Step 6 –Place a meat thermometer into the center of the roast and place the roast in a roasting pan.
Step 7 –Roast until the thermometer reads 130 degrees F for rare, 140 degrees F for medium-rare, 150 degrees F for medium, and 155-160 degrees F for well done, about 1 hour-1 hour 15 minutes.
Step 8 –Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for about 10-20 minutes.
Step 9 –Slice thin and serve.
