Cooking a delicious roast beef doesn’t have to be complicated. A good top-round cut of beef makes a wonderful dinner and you don’t have to spend the entire day in the kitchen making it. With the right roast beef recipe, a few simple ingredients, and a little planning, you can have a perfectly cooked roast.
When cooking a roast, always use a good digital thermometer, like the iGrill2 by Weber. By placing the thermometer right in the center, or the thickest part of the roast you can get a perfect rare to medium rare center. This allows cuts of meat with varied doneness for different preferences. Rare to medium-rare in the middle, well done on the ends.
Fresh butter, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper make a simple, yet delicious roast rub. I’m sure you will love it!
