Total Time: Approximately 2–3 hours Servings: 6–8
Ingredients
For the Roast:
3–4 lb. Briarpatch Farm Black Angus Beef Chuck Roast
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
For the Roasting Pan:
1 large yellow onion, quartered
3 carrots, cut into large pieces
3 celery stalks, cut into large pieces
1 cup beef broth
Instructions
1. Prepare the roast. Remove the Briarpatch Farm Black Angus Beef Roast from the refrigerator about 30–60 minutes before cooking. Pat dry with paper towels to help create a flavorful crust. Preheat your oven to 450°F.
2. Make the herb seasoning. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder, and Dijon mustard. Mix until a thick, fragrant paste forms.
3. Season the beef. Rub the herb mixture evenly over the entire roast, making sure to coat all sides. This creates a savory crust as the beef cooks.
4. Prepare the roasting pan. Place the quartered onion, carrots, and celery in the bottom of a roasting pan. Pour in the beef broth and position a roasting rack above the vegetables. Place the seasoned Black Angus Beef Roast on the rack, fat side up.
5. Roast the beef. Place the roast in the preheated oven and cook at 450°F for 15 minutes to develop a beautiful crust. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and continue roasting until the beef reaches your desired doneness. Begin checking the internal temperature early with a meat thermometer.
6. Check the temperature. For food safety, cook beef roasts to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F, followed by a 3-minute rest. Cooking time will vary depending on the roast's size, shape, and your oven.
7. Let it rest. Remove the roast from the oven and loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Allow it to rest for 15–20 minutes before slicing to help retain its juices.
8. Slice and serve. Using a sharp knife, slice the Black Angus Beef Roast against the grain into your desired thickness. Serve alongside your favorite holiday sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or green bean casserole.
