Garlic Lover’s Roast Beef
By GINA, SKINNYTASTE from Yummly
Vampires beware, there’s garlic in every bite! And if that’s not enough garlic, I like to serve this with roasted broccoli with smashed garlic and skinny mashed potatoes… in my house, there’s never too much garlic.
With Father’s Day right around the corner, I thought it was time to re-shoot this recipe which means this is what’s for dinner tonight. I make roast beef quite often in my house because it’s pretty simple to make and we all love it. Roast beef is really hard to mess up as long as you have a meat thermometer and you let it rest before slicing.
For lunch today I made a delicious carved roast beef sandwich with melted cheese and sweet caramelized onions, it was sooo good!

Ingredients:
2-3 lb roast or eye round, all fat trimmed off
3-4 cloves garlic, cut into thin slivers
olive oil spray (I used my misto
kosher salt, to taste
fresh cracked pepper, to taste
2 tsp dried chopped rosemary
meat thermometer
Directions:
Remove the roast from refrigerator 1 hour before cooking to reach room temperature. Trim all the fat off the meat. Using a sharp knife, pierce meat about 1/2-inch deep and insert slivers of garlic in each hole, pushing all the way in. Lightly spray the meat with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper and rosemary. Place the thermometer all the way into the center of the meat.
Preheat oven to 350°. When the oven reaches 350°, place the roast in a roasting pan and put in the oven.
Roast until the thermometer reads 130° for rare, 140° for medium rare, 150° for medium, and 155-160° for well done. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest 10-20 minutes before you cut it so that the juices distributed evenly. I personally remove my roast beef from the oven when it is 135° for medium rare. The temperature will rise an additional 5 degrees as it sits.
