Description

A classic roast beef dish served with a rich and flavorful pan gravy. Perfect for Sunday dinner or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds beef roast (chuck or ribeye recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season the beef roast generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned.
  4. Remove the roast from the skillet and set aside. Pour off excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan.
  5. Add the beef broth, red wine (if using), and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Return the roast to the skillet, fat side up. Cover with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare).
  7. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
  8. To make the gravy, place the skillet over medium heat. If you want a thicker gravy, mix cornstarch with a little cold water to make a slurry, then add to the pan.
  9. Bring the gravy to a simmer, stirring continuously until thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  10. Slice the roast and serve with the pan gravy poured over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, use a meat thermometer to check the roast’s internal temperature.
  • You can add vegetables like carrots and potatoes to the roasting pan for a one-pan meal.
  • Leftover roast beef can be used in sandwiches, salads, or soups.
