AMAZING ROAST BEEF RECIPE FOR GRAMPS 85TH BIRTHDAY!

Last Saturday we celebrated our Grampa's birthday, he turns 85 TODAY! He has lived a life full of accomplishments and has touched all of us with his love and example! 
We know how much he loves to eat and couldn't think of a better gift to give him but to cooking an AMAZING Roast Beef haha.
We had a really nice day eating and enjoying being together as a family, so here are some pictures of that day and ofcourse the Roast Beef Recipe (after the pictures).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMPS, WE LOVE YOU!

 
















ROAST BEEF RECIPE:

Ingredients
  • 7 kilos boneless eye-round roast
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  •  olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
  • 1½ teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 cloves of garlic, finely minced to a paste
Instructions
  1. The day before you plan to cook the roast, sprinkle the salt evenly over the meat, rolling it on your board to pick up excess salt that has failed to stick. 
  2. Wrap it with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight, or at least for a few hours the day of.
  3. Place the oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Remove the roast from the refrigerator and use paper towels to dry excess moisture from the meat. Rub the roast all over with the teaspoon of oil before evenly sprinkling on the oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, pepper and garlic.

  4. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it just begins to simmer and slightly smoke. Add the roast and sear until richly browned on all sides (including the sides and the ends), 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  5. Transfer the roast to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet and sprayed with Pam. Roast the meat for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
  6. Remove the roast from the oven to a carving board and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes. 


ENJOY!
