Best 5 Beef Choice Top Round Roast Recipes

EASY TOP ROUND ROAST BEEF RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Fit a rack in a roasting pan and set aside.
• Rub the top round roast with the olive oil. Then spread the salt, black pepper and garlic over it. Do your best to cover not only the top and bottom but the sides.
• Place the seasoned roast on the rack in roasting pan. Roast (uncovered) in the oven for 15 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 325. Roast for another 45 to 60 minutes or until the a thermometer reads between 135 and 140. Please note that roasts that are less than 3 inches thick will take less time to roast. I highly recommend investing in an instant read thermometer so you know the exact moment to pull it out of the oven.
• Remove from the oven, loosely tent with foil, and allow the roast to rest for 10 minutes. Slice thin, and enjoy. See post for details about reheating and left over ideas.

A PERFECT EYE OF ROUND ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. If desired, trim off excess fat from roast beef. Season with salt and pepper (and paprika, if desired). Rub meat with vegetable oil.
• Place meat in roasting pan in preheated oven.
• Roast beef for 5 minutes per pound. Then turn off oven. DO NOT OPEN OVEN FOR 2 HOURS! (For example, a 4-lb. roast would take 20 minutes to cook and then sit in the turned-off oven for 2 hours.).

TENDER EYE OF ROUND ROAST

Steps:

• Combine the oil, salt, pepper, thyme and garlic into a paste, then rub all over the roast. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour. Forty minutes into the hour, pre-heat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• On a baking sheet, place two sheets of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil large enough to cover the roast. Place the roast on the foil sheets and transfer everything to the oven. Roast for 6 minutes per pound.
• Remove from the oven. Fold up the foil so it wraps the roast then return it to the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 170 degrees F and roast for one hour. After an hour, check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer: 120-125 degrees F will yield a rare center, 130-140 degrees F will yield a medium-rare center, and 140-150 degrees F will yield a medium center.
• When the roast is finished, remove it and set it on a cutting board to rest. Transfer any drippings from the roast into a saucepan, then combine with the red wine and beef broth. Bring to a simmer over med-high heat and reduce by 1/4; reduce heat to medium-low and whisk in the cubes of butter one at a time until incorporated into the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
• Slice the roast into 1/2 inch thick slices and serve with the pan sauce poured on top.

PERFECT BONELESS BEEF ROASTS

Steps:

• NOTE: The success of this recipe will depend upon how accurate the temperature of your oven is and how will it retains heat. Adjust cooking time +/- according to your individual oven.
• IMPORTANT: Determine the EXACT weight of the roast from the meat wrapper. Weight will determine how long to cook the roast. If you have a probe meat thermometer with an alarm, I recommend using it.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
• Cut all visible fat from the outside of the meat. Rub the entire outside of the roast with salt, pepper, or seasonings of your choice, such as thyme, garlic powder, etc. (If using a probe thermometer insert it into center of the meat. Set the temperature to your desired degree of doneness and set the alarm.).
• Place roast in roasting pan and bake according to the following Cooking Chart:.
• RARE - 3 minutes per pound.
• MEDIUM RARE/RARE - 3 1/4 minutes per pound.
• MEDIUM RARE - 3 1/2 minutes per pound.
• MEDIUM - 4 minutes per pound.
• MEDIUM WELL - 4 1/2 minutes per pound.
• WELL DONE - not recommended with this method.
• Set your oven timer for the cooking time calculated from the Cooking Chart above.
• When cook time is completed, TURN THE OVEN OFF! DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR FOR AT LEAST 1-1/2 HOURS or until the probe alarm signals desired temperature has been reached. After removing roast from oven, tent with foil and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
• To reserve meat juices, slice rare/medium rare roasts on a platter where juices can collect. Pour juices into roasting pan, scraping loose any pan drippings, and pour au jus over the roast.
• OPTIONAL ONIONS AND MUSHROOMS: Slice mushrooms and onions. In frying pan coated with non-stick cooking spray, saute mushrooms and onions until limp and tender. Add 2-3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and set aside.
• FOR GRAVY: For each cup of au jus (beef liquid), make a slurry by stirring 1-1/2 to 2 tsp of cornstarch into 1 tbs water. Bring au jus to a slow boil (adding 1 cup beef broth, cooked mushrooms and onions w/vinegar if using optional ingredients); stirring constantly. Gradually add the slurry to the boiling au jus. Cook on medium, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens - about 1 minute. Remove from heat and serve.
