Ingredients
- 3-4 lbs beef roast (chuck, sirloin, or rib-eye)
- 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- In a small bowl, combine the Worcestershire sauce and melted butter.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and sear the roast on all sides until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Place the seared roast in a baking dish and pour the Worcestershire-butter mixture over it.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Once done, remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the roast against the grain and serve with pan drippings drizzled on top.
Notes
Let the roast come to room temperature for even cooking. Using a meat thermometer is recommended for perfect doneness.
