MAIN DISH RECIPE

Rosemary Roast Beef

Homemade roast beef using an eye round roast is a simpler and cheaper alternative to prime rib at Christmas! My Rosemary Roast Beef recipe first dry brines the meat with a simple blend of seasonings before roasting low and slow in the oven.

Let’s get started!

It’s a nearly foolproof method that any home cook can follow!

COMBINE

1. Pat a 3-pound eye of round roast dry on all sides with paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika, ½ teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary, and ½ teaspoon brown sugar.

COAT THE ROAST

2. Rub this mixture evenly over the roast, making sure to cover the ends as well as the sides.

REFRIGERATE

3. Set the roast on a wire rack inside a roasting pan and refrigerate it uncovered overnight. This dry brine not only seasons the meat deeply but also dries the surface so it will brown more easily later.
