Easy Roast Beef

One thing I've learned since I've started this cooking adventure is that just because something is time consuming doesn't mean its difficult. 

Take this awesome roast beef and potatoes recipe. Actually, there really isn't much of a recipe for this, just some instructions. It's that easy. But it does take time. I mean not, like, all day, but don't do what I did and start this when you're ready for dinner because you're going to be waiting at least 1.5 hrs. 

It's worth it though. 

This was so good. The meat was tender and so flavorful. 

I rubbed the roast with rosemary, salt, pepper, and a little garlic. Put it in the oven, and went back to slaving away in the UglyKitty Studio. That's it - Rub. Roast. Rest. The recipe for the awesomely-grilled potato side dish will be posted shortly.

Ingredients

3-pound roast beef

3 tablespoons rosemary

3-4 cloves of garlic, minced

salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine rosemary, minced, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Rub the roast with the spice mixture.
4. Put in roasting pan and roast for about an hour (or until meat thermometer reaches 160 degrees for well done).
5. Remove from oven, cover with foil, and allow to rest for 20 minutes.

For gravy - add a little water to the pan, stir it up, pour into a small sauce pan, throw in a handful of flour, and simmer until thickened. Serve over sliced roast.
